A Wider World: Stage 3: Making of the United Kingdom, c.1500-1750 (History Matters)

As intellectual and physical hoizons widened, people living in Early Modern Britain experienced profound political, religious, social and cultural changes. The tensions these created led to civil war and revolution, a "united kingdom", and the beginning of modern technological and scientific advance. Yet there was continuity, too, in the lives and work of ordinary people. One of a series of five books covering core History Study Units for Key Stage 3 of the National Curriculum, this volume offers an investigative approach and combines straightforward text with time-charts and diagrams. A wide range of visual and documentary sources encourages pupils to tackle the Attainment Targets for this Key Stage with enjoyment and increasing confidence in their historical skills.
