The books in the "Modern Studies" series have been designed primarily for students studying for Standard Grade Modern Studies. In content and approach, they aim to follow the subject syllabus and methodology. This volume examines the people, politics and society of Great Britain. The book is divided into parts which mirror the main syllabus areas. The chapters within the parts contain various units offering visual and written source material and skill-based activities. They aim to let students gain experience in "evaluating", "investigating" and "participating", elements which are central to the aims of Standard Grade Modern Studies.
