Introducing Politics for AS Level is a new textbook
specifically developed to cover the latest AS specifications. It is
suitable for use with the AQA, Edexcel and OCR examining boards.
The book introduces students to politics in a lively and
intelligent way, without bias and without 'dumbing
down'. Designed in full colour, it is both comprehensive and
accessible, enabling students to get the most from their AS
politics course.

The book includes:

· Full coverage of all topics specified by the examining
boards, from the Executive to the House of Lords, Devolution to the
European Union;

· Up-to-date discussions of the most recent parliamentary,
national and European elections as well as an in-depth assessment
of the Brown premiership;

· A host of colour photographs, graphs, tables, diagrams
and cartoons;

· 'Making connections' sections to help
students grasp the 'big picture';

· End of chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading
and handy Internet links;

· A comprehensive glossary;

· Plenty of questions and class activities.

Written by a highly experienced teacher, the book presents
politics as an exciting and relevant topic to students of all
interests and abilities. Although it assumes no previous knowledge,
the book contains enough depth to provide a sound basis for
progression to A2 Politics, and will help them to achieve the
highest grades.

An accompanying free access website, featuring additional
teaching material and exercises designed to help students research
and revise topics in the book, is available at:
