I cannot recommend this book enoughI did the Opportunity and Inequality in America (1920-1973) module and found it really interesting. However, I found that my school's resources didn't give me the detail I felt that I needed to get a high grade. This book was my holy grail. There's plenty of detail, but not too much to overwhelm the reader and the photos and diagrams really helped. I felt really confident during the exam thanks to this book and from getting grade 5s in mock exams I came out with a grade 9 in the real thing! -- Amazon reviewer

When I received my copy of Understanding the Modern World I was pleased to see that the headings are clear, the layout of the pages is effective and the content is summarised in a manner which will be accessible to students.

I like the number of supporting visuals throughout the book, particularly the maps and infographics that complement the written information. I also like the Focus Tasks and Think boxes which will be nice activities for students to complete in lessons or at home.

I'm pleased to see examples of practice questions supporting the text and the Assessment Focus sections at the end of the chapters are fantastic. This will really help with the teaching of exam technique.
