Cover of International Relations 1890-1930
Standard Grade History is a popular and comprehensive series of texts written specifically for pupils following courses at Standard Grade. Narrative text is intersperesed with visual and written source material, plus questions and activities. Foundation, General and Credit materials are provided for use at all levels. This 3rd edition of International Relations 1890-1930 has been revised to include redesign of layout in full colour, plus supplementation of certain source materials to encourage more careful selection of materials for exam practice. Key words are now highlighted (and summarised in a glossary), and there is occasional rewriting of certain areas of text to aid comprehension and recall. Finally, an extra chapter is provided on examination technique, which will aid chances of success at the highest levels.

Cover of Cooperation and Conflict
Uses source material to present an analysis of the years 1890-1930. With World War I occupying a central position in this book, other chapters examine the actions, and the repercussions, of nations before 1914, the nature of warfare and the role of technology and the changing relationships of the great powers in the period as a whole. As with each book in the series, each chapter is divided into two sections - one with content and range appropriate for General and Upper Foundation levels, with the second section aimed at the more able who will be likely to achieve at the Credit level. Hugh McMillan is the author of "Triumph of the Air" while James A. Harkness wrote "Discover Dumfries".
