This course book presents a lively resource full of case studies, extracts, quotations, statistics and activities to allow students to fully understand complex and controversial issues. It follows an approach that includes the wider aims of the IB through connections to TOK, international-mindedness and the IB learner profile. It has been written by an IB Consultant and teacher and has been extensively reviewed by teachers, consultants and the IB.

Fully incorporating the learner profile, resources are assessed by consulting experts in international-mindedness and TOK to ensure these crucial components are deeply embedded into learning. This is an invaluable tool for both myself and my students - incredibly comprehensive, coherent and manages to link together aspects of the IB Learner Profile. I don't know what I would do without my copy. Neil, Science Teacher, Dallam School, UK The Oxford IB course books are the best ever resource for both teachers and students.
