Reviews
The Dedicated mathematics skills chapter is a wonderful inclusion. All the maths skills a student will need to demonstrate can be found, explained and exemplified in one place. -- A Popperwell, Science Teacher * Abigail Lambert *

The book explains transcription and translation really well and better than our other source
It is clearly laid out
There are thorough explanations stating the key points which are easy to pick out
Questions are directly related to specification content whereas in our other AS text the questions are vague and not linked directly with content
Diagrams are clear and well labelled and aesthetically pleasing, they are easy to understand and accurate
The key terms and tip boxes contain relevant information to extend our knowledge in a way that is useful to us when we are revising
