Review:

"Often the students find the transition from GCSE to AS/A2 level a difficult one and many of the higher level text books are heavy reading and quite dry. In this case the Collins book is an excellent starting part for their studies. It includes some lovely activities for staff to do with the students, it is colourful and the shorter topics within each unit make each part of the course more manageable... The format of the books has made planning for the new course an easier task than it might have been." Teacher at a school and sports college in Rotherham
