new perspective The leading AS/A2 Modern History journal This rich, varied and exciting journal is specially published for today's teachers and students of AS/A Modern History. Founded by the editor of the first ever A-Level History journal, it has evolved, and will continue to develop, to meet the present needs of teachers and students   At the core of every issue are topic articles, high-quality contributions by distinguished authors specially chosen and prepared for use by teachers and students at home or in the classroom and ingenuously structured to foster student progress to top grades This structure includes a newspaper-type heading to capture attention, followed by a concise summary of the article and then ‘questions to consider’. Articles are split into sections by the use of summative subheadings and orientation is furthered by a timeline. Words and concepts are explained in order to make good possible difficulties with English. Carefully selected further reading suggestions at the end, including related articles published in new perspective - some of which are available on this site, provide a springboard for those who wish to take study of the topic further. Pictures and, where appropriate, maps with relating captions, add the visual element and further enhance the value of articles. The requirements of the new specifications, taught from September 2000, are particularly considered with more articles on answering document questions, more advice on study skills, including how to effectively answer structured questions, and topic articles that focus on the themes of continuity and change and interpretations of periods of history - the latter two meeting the needs of A2 units Topic articles are complemented by shorter features including articles on: Concepts Study skills Answering structured questions Answering document questions The Good Book Guide Occasional series include: Contexts, in which a monument or building is placed in its historical context Byways in History, short articles in which lesser figures, or those overshadowed by others, are brought to light Head to head in-depth reviews of recent textbook series Short articles which address specification developments in the world of advanced History teaching and study Reviews of department resources, books and CD-Roms Schools/colleges that subscribe to new perspective are given free access to the Study Centre as indicated on the order form.
