An SHP Modern World Study examines a topical issue in its historical context. It is examined by coursework for all the English boards. This book provides an accessible and innovative approach to the twin challenges of any Modern World Study - providing enough contextual background for students to make sense of the contemporary issue, yet also keeping focused on the big ideas. For coursework assignments teachers can either use or adapt the tasks provided or use this as a teaching basis for their own coursework assignments.
