Modern World (Heinemann Secondary History Project) Book

This core pupil's book covers the essential content of the most popular GCSE syllabuses. It is part of a series that meets the requirements of the revised GCSE syllabuses and covers the needs of pupils of all abilities. This book covers international relations from World War I up to the recent history of South Africa. Interspersed with this narrative are depth studies, focusing on the USA from 1919 to 1941, Germany from 1919 to 1949, Russia from 1905 to 1941 and Britain from 1900 to 1951. At the end of each unit there is a section on exam practice, providing questions to help pupils consolidate information and prepare for revision. There are mark schemes in the accompanying teacher's resource pack, and advice from examiners. Many of the key issues, events and personalities of this century are covered, using source material. Activities to stretch higher attainers and to help lower attainers are included in the accompanying teacher's resource pack. There is also a foundation edition aimed at lower achievers, with the same content but a simpler text and activities. The series also contains core and foundation editions of "Nazi Germany" and "Russia 1905-56".Read More
