This series is aimed at less able students who simply want to pass their KS3 SATs but also those who could do even better given the right guidance & reassurance. The books are deliberately short & unintimidating & take KS3 students through basic concepts using Andrew Brodie's carefully planned step-by-step approach. Tricky topics are broken down into manageable stages with lots of worked examples to illustrate every stage. Providing re-assurance & giving students confidence is a key feature of this series. A pull-out answer section with accompanying explanations means that these books can be used equally well at home with individuals or in a school setting with groups of students. ...

This is the fourth volume of Robert Caros monumental work on American President Lyndon Johnson that spans the years 1958 to 1964 arguably the most crucial years in the life of Johnson & pivotal years for American history. This era saw some of the most frustrating moments of Johnsons career but also some of his most triumphant. His battle with the Kennedy brothers over the 1960 Democratic nomination for president was a bitter one & the ensuing years of Johnsons vice-presidency were marked with humiliation. But thrust into power following the assassination of J. F. Kennedy Johnson grasped the presidential role with unprecedented skill. Caro provides a fresh perspective on the extremely well-documented event of the Kennedy assassination from the singular viewpoint of Lyndon Johnson & penetrates deep into what it was like for Johnson to assume a position of such power at a time of national crisis. The Passage of Power" documents Johnsons extraordinary early presidency forcing previously abandoned bills on the budget & civil rights through an uncooperative Congress & striving to achieve what he saw to be the highest standard of office. This is a biography of a man & of his times. Caro shows a delicacy of touch & a profoundness of insight into the state of a nation under the hand of a political master. Collectively these volumes constitute a major history of America in the first three-quarters of the twentieth century." ...
