Nationalism and Unionism is part of the Irish History in Perspective series of pupils' and teachers' books, and has been written for the Northern Ireland curriculum. These specially-commissioned texts allow pupils to understand how developments at a local, national and international level have helped to shape the economy, culture and political structure of Ireland. Nationalism and Unionism is the third book in the series and covers the period from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries. The pupils' books are in full colour and contain a careful balance of explanation and investigation. They allow pupils to learn about the chronology of the main events, investigate social, cultural and religious diversity and use a stimulating range of historical sources. They provide a range of differentiated activities suitable for all abilities.
