Product Description

Product Description
This is an SHP Official Text which means it has been created by the Schools History Project for use with the SHP specifications.

The American West 1840-1895 is an authoritative SHP depth study for use with all GCSE specifications from all examinations boards. It thoroughly covers the content requirements of the OCR, Edexcel and AQA SHP specifications using an enquiry based approach. It is written by experts who understand both how to design good teaching material but also understand the exact assessment requirements of each specification.

It is supported by a comprehensive Teacher's Resource Book, and two new Dynamic Learning digital resources:
CD-Rom 1 Investigations and Enquiries
CD-Rom 2 Review and Revise

Other books in the SHP Depth Study series:
- Germany 1918-1945
- Elizabethan England
- Britain 1815-1851

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Review of US History 1820-1900, 3 Jun 2009
By J. Furlong "Beebop" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book to tutor a GCSE student who was covering the American West (I hadn't) and was able to read and absorb it in about a week, but I'm a graduate in my 20s, which makes it a lot easier than it was in my teens. It's a solid, comprehensive and (fairly) unbiased review of the period with a good number of sources and case-studies. Personally I'd read it for pleasure, I thought it was really interesting, but it also offers enough information to pull out an A* at GCSE (or whatever they're handing the kids these days).

I can thoroughly recommend this book either for current GCSE students or anyone who wants to understand a fairly substantial chunk of the current world super-power's admittedly brief history.
