Reviews:
"The emphasis is on active citizenship and students taking an initiative in making a difference. For example, students are asked to debate the issues of how school places are allocated, to conduct a local survey about the needs of their community and to consider the benefits and problems of tourism. At the end of each section there are useful reflective exercises to enable students to self evaluate and assess their progress based on skills and understanding."
