The Kaiserreich

This 150 page book will be invaluable to any student of the Second Reich at Advanced level. It provides a comprehensive, narrative chronological structure which is a prerequisite of any study of the period. Personalities and events are recounted in considerable detail and are clearly set in context.

However the book goes beyond most standard textbooks in the way it prepares students to produce competent essay responses to exam questions and provides practice in handling documentary source.

  • Students are given key questions to consider and are encouraged to test continuously the theories of historians against their own findings.
  • Essay style questions are set at each stage in the book, all drawn from past exam papers.
  • Documentary criticism skills are continuously tested.
  • Frequent historiographical references remind students to read beyond this text to gain a greater understanding of the subject.

What’s more, the materials are available as a photocopiable book and as a CD which can be put onto the school’s network and shared among all students for whom it is relevant. Thus all students may use the material with the purchase of just one copy.

Making Philosophical Arguments Accessible

This resource book of philosophical arguments presents and discusses such arguments and, where relevant, looks at individual philosophers in a form and style of writing that is accessible and comprehensible to students.

The coverage of the volume is extensive. After an introduction on logic and argument, the Theory of Knowledge section deals with empiricism, rationalism, justification, scepticism and knowledge of the external world.

Moral philosophy takes the student through utilitarianism, deontology and virtue ethics, practical ethics on topics such as abortion and voluntary euthanasia and meta-ethics.

The final section of the philosophy of region covers ideas of God, cosmological ontological and teleological arguments, faith reason and belief, and the implications of God’s existence.

After each argument there is an explanation – where necessary – of each part of the argument, followed by discussion of any problems or issues arising. Finally there are questions and points for discussion.

Some of the material on God and Moral Philosophy will also be useful to students of A level Religious Studies whose course includes some Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. Of particular relevance are sections on: arguments for the existence of God; faith, reason and belief; religious experience; God and morality; miracles.
