This is an exciting Key Stage 3 resource for teaching lower attainers about the issues and events that characterize the birth and development of industrial Britain, its relations with Europe and the growing Empire. It never lets go of the period's story, providing opportunities to examine the big picture and investigate particular topics. Did you know that Napoleon might have been poisoned by his wallpaper; that slaves who refused to eat had their teeth broken and food forced into their mouths; that during the Indian Mutiny the British executed prisoners by tying them to the front of their cannons; or that one reason why the Titanic sank was because the sea was so calm?
This is Book 10 in the Hodder History Series. See all Hodder History books here.
