Through a wealth of primary and secondary source material, this account of the origins of the First World War allows the reader to gain an in-depth understanding of one of the most complex topics in the IB History syllabus. Sources are contextualized by commentaries and each Unit is concluded by exercises and activities which target the source analysis skills examined in IB History Paper 1 - comprehension, application, analysis, evaluation and synthesis. Lastly, the text has been written specifically for the reader who does not have English as his/her mother tongue language. Short sentences in the commentaries, consistent use of terminological items and inclusion of synonyms and other explanations in hard brackets in the text all help to make this book fully accessible to non-native speakers of English.

The Nordic Nations are a modern success story. By many measures, these countries are amongst the most successful on Earth. Positioned on the northern border of Europe but still very much in the mainstream of Western European culture, the Nordic Nations have developed excellent health, social and education systems as well as strong economic growth. Authors Siri Ingvaldsen, Thomas Larsson and Erik Overgaard Pedersen explain how these countries have developed in the period since the Napoleonic wars, surviving European conflicts and internal friction to become modern states

The resource has been written for the European regional option HL. It is directly intended for the topic 12 (Developments in 19 and 20th century Scandinavia and Finland) but will also serve as good material for other topics, e.g., 10 (19th century educational, cultural and intellectual developments), 19 (Post-war western Europe to 1995) and 20 (20th century European society)

The resource contains sections on Denmark, Finland, Iceland, the Faeroes, Greenland, Aaland, Norway and Sweden and is attractively illustrated. Each section has a set of Discussion Questions, Essay Topics and a Summary Timeline. There is also a comprehensive bibliography.

Tim Woffenden

Author Tim Woenden, an experienced IB teacher and examiner, deals with three revolutionary dictators who are popular choices of study for IB students: Hitler, Mao and Castro. This book delivers a lively, integrated course that enables students to compare three very dierent rulers. Fascinating, often neglected, areas are made accessible; with detailed analysis of social and cultural policies alongside coverage of routes to power and its consolidation. Clear, concise advice is provided on essay writing (model essays are included) and there are suggestions for topics appropriate for Internal Assessment and Extended Essay. Thought-provoking assignments, including Theory of Knowledge discussions, are designed to enhance learning and stimulate interest. Throughout, the requirements of IB examiners are kept rmly in focus. Deliberately, the book deals with three authoritarian rulers in depth, rather than tackling many rulers supercially. Easy access is provided to sucient material to handle essay questions authoritatively in an aordable book that will not overwhelm either teachers or students. As change sweeps through the Middle East, this book provides timely lessons on the nature and consequences, both intended and unintended, of revolution in three very dierent settings.
