Case Studies are also highlighted and are dealt with in depth, using a wealth of source material.

A Working with Evidence section guides the student in how to approach the various types of source they will encounter.

Questions at the end of each chapter are clearly marked for either Ordinary or Higher Level students, taking into account the different requirements for each level.
