Focusing on British history from 1750 to 1900, this is one of a series which provides simplified versions of topics covered in the "Heinemann History Study Units" series. The text, written sources and questions have been reduced and simplified to meet the needs of less-able pupils at Key Stage 3, but the material is pitched at a level of maturity designed to sustain pupils' interest. For each book in the series there is a corresponding teacher's resource pack.
