Quarto Publishing PLC Escape from Pompeii
Book SynopsisTravel back in time to view the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the Roman Empire. Join Tranio, the son of an actor, and his friend Livia, the baker's daughter, in witnessing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. Tranio, like most Roman boys, likes to watch whatever is going on: tradesmen selling their goods, ships unloading their exotic cargoes, politicians making speeches in the forum. But one hot August day a very different scene unfolds. The ground begins to shake, the sky to darken. People run gasping for air. Heading for the harbor, Tranio and his friend Livia hide on a boat and witness one of the most terrifying moments in recorded history-the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of their beloved city, Pompeii. Although this book handles the sensitive subject of a tragic natural disaster, this book perfectly pitched for years 2 and 3. It is great in explaining the daily life of Romans from a child's point of view.Perfectly aligned to the KS2 curriculum, for those studying the Romans in school.

The textbook has really helped in those respects. The introduction to the period and the 'review' at the end of each part of the specification content are particularly useful.We're using the books with all students across our GCSE cohort because the combination of illustrations, charts, diagrams and coherent text makes them so straightforward and suitable for all abilities. -- Head of History, Beechen Cliff SchoolDale's books really help students to see the wood from the trees! The layout allows students to see the big answers before the supporting details. I wish I had these books two years ago; they make the GCSE seem so much more accessible and manageable. They were worth the wait though; I can tell academic history books were used to write the precise and concise content from scratch. No cut and paste on these pages! -- Head of History, Priory School Lewes and Associate Fellow, University of SussexThese are fantastic textbooks - they simplify the course while still covering everything effectively. I love the advice on exam questions - it clearly links in with what I would advise as an examiner and the advice is very pupil friendly. They are the best books I have seen on the new AQA GCSE. I have found them particularly useful for pupils who struggle to access some of the other books. -- History Teacher, Wilmslow High School, CheshireA crucial textbook for anyone teaching the AQA specification.

Hodder Education Understanding the Holocaust at KS3: How and why
Book SynopsisIn 2016 the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education published a landmark study, What do students know and understand about the Holocaust? Almost 10,000 students aged 11 to 18 participated in the research. It was the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. The study indicated that the vast majority of young people found the subject interesting and relevant. However, it also revealed that many students did not have clear knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust.Written in direct response to the findings of the 2016 national study, this textbook significantly improves understanding of the Holocaust by:> Providing you with an appropriate historical overview of key aspects of the Holocaust> Helping you to understand the long-standing hatred of Jews (i.e., the roots of antisemitism)> Deepening your knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust > Encouraging you to challenge common myths and misconceptions (e.g., that Hitler was solely responsible for the Holocaust)> Developing your understanding of key historical concepts (e.g., evidence, interpretation, causation, significance)> Enabling you to answer the big historical question: How and why did the Holocaust happen? > Helping you to appreciate the impact of the Holocaust on ordinary people across Europe> Inviting you to consider the importance of the Holocaust and its significance todayThis textbook is supported by additional materials and teacher guidance notes on the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education website (holocausteducation.org.uk).The original design, development and distribution of this textbook was funded by the Toni Schiff Memorial Fund and the Pears Foundation. The Centre is enormously grateful for their support. The Wiener Holocaust Library also provided considerable assistance in developing the textbook.
