A new and accessible textbook designed to meet the specific requirements of AS Level Social Students, written by practising teachers and examiners.
The book is divided into eight units:
The individual and society
• Families and huseholds
• Education
• Wealth, welfare and poverty
• The mass media
• Health
• Research methods
• Preparing for the AS exam
Each unit is divided into a number of topics, organised in a consistent and easy-to-follow format. Each topic contains text to develop knowledge, but also equal amounts of activities and suggestions for research to develop the subject-specific and ‘key’ skills needed.
