One can only teach one pre-scribed subject, but buying this book means you can actually use only 1/3 of it. This means I am wasting a large part of my humanities budget. Some of the sections, such as the one on "Arabism" and Zionism don't actually define or discuss those terms, but instead focuses only on the PLO. Why? Finally, the book has so many pull-outs and colourful boxes that my students and I have found it distracting. I cannot recommend this book.

As a teacher new to the IB Diploma programme this IB History textbook gave me the confidence to approach paper 1. My students enjoy the examples of candidate work and understand for themselves the areas on which they need to work. The authors are all senior examiners and the depth of their experience shows in this immensely practical book. The individual chapters on the prescribed subjects are well constructed and visually appealing. The links to TOK give the new teacher excellent ready-to-go resources to teach this important element of the course.
