Series Editors: Christopher Culpin and Ian Dawson

Although these books were largely planned, written and published before the publication of the 2008 National Curriculum for Key Stage 3, their key features fit the 2008 Programme of Study extremely well. This is because the approaches they embody have grown out of successful classroom practice, which in turn has been a major influence on the discussions that produced the new Programme of Study. In particular:

• Dynamic combination of depth and overview
• Progression in understanding of concepts and processes
• Building the big thematic stories across time
• A Citizenship resource

This much loved series is alive and well and more relevant than ever, and we are committed to adding new books, and other developments and depth studies in the future.

Impact of Empire Second Edition

The Impact of Empire provides both overview and depth investigations to fire pupils’ curiosity about the British Empire. The depth studies include investigations into why the Roanoake colony failed, telling the stories of slavery, Ireland in the Great War, what were British plans for the Middle East and post-war Commonwealth migration.

These are not just a random selection of good stories and activities but are carefully chosen to help young people understand that the British Empire still affects our daily lives today – who we are, how we live and what we believe.
