Reviews / Votes
...lots of newspaper extracts, large photographs and suggested web links. Its real strength is in exams and coursework preparation - lots of advice and sample answers - and it is the only textbook to include sections for those taking the Entry Level Certificate (old Certificate of Achievement). * TES * ..particularly well resourced in terms of pertinent and up-to-date case studies, providing just enough detail to fund good quality answers without overloading the student with information.
