Review

The text is clear and broken up with colourful images/boxes/pictures. All this offers a lively presentation of ideas which should hold the interest of students. The use of graphic cartoons and dramatic episodes will serve to grab attention. As noted before, there is great strength in the active learning promoted. The process of answering exam questions is clearly demonstrated and students are directly involved in completing charts, etc. The practical suggestions in the 'how to' sections are particularly good. All can use the inner and outer boxes to use sources. This is also a clear way of showing the levels of thinking/answers as well. Other good ideas are the clear stages to be followed in preparing an answer and the warnings given. This book clearly promotes good practice. This is an excellent book for exam preparation for Unit 3A (and indeed for any of the source based enquiries). Edexcel's Quality Assurance review of this title
