Reviews:
In both texts the glossaries in each chapter are impressively thorough and well differentiated. Both texts also enjoy plenty of illustrations and maps. The tasks in both texts are appropriately pitched, and vary enough to retain enthusiasm. In the Foundation text there are collaborative tasks such as a group mind map. This will help lower ability students to feel confident about their responses.
