The book is easy to read and use; the summaries are excellent for revision purposes. There are some good, and as yet unused, primary sources, for practice with candidates, and a wealth of illustrations to keep the readers interested...this is a book worthy of purchase. * SATH Resources Review * Very good coverage of topic - we have purchased many Access series before. * S Reilly, St Marys College * The material, some of which is new, is presented in a different way which makes it much easier to access for the student of this time. There are excellent summaries on the major issues of the day...The book is easy to read and use; the summaries are excellent for revision purposes.
