Investigating and interpreting the ancient world

The Ancient World Transformed is written specifically for the new Stage 6 Ancient History syllabus to help students develop the key historical thinking and writing skills required for success in their Year 11 and Year 12 studies and beyond.

Written for the new Ancient History syllabus by expert author Pamela Bradley, The Ancient World Transformed equips students with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to investigate, reconstruct and conserve the past. The updated series now includes a new Year 11 textbook (available in 2017) in addition to a second edition of the Year 12 textbook and a third edition of the popular Cities of Vesuvius: Pompeii and Herculaneum (both available in 2018).

Fresh, engaging and in-depth content across a wide range of topics in the study of Egypt, Greece, Rome and the Near East offer a flexible option for teachers.
Each chapter has been carefully structured to allow students to develop the critical analysis skills required of an historian and include valuable overviews, activities and tools such as graphic organisers to develop critical thinking and writing skills and also enable effective revision.
Comprehensive exam preparation support includes end-of-chapter summaries and activities that directly address syllabus outcomes, source-based exam-style questions and additional resources for further investigation.
The Interactive Textbook provides a range of additional elective chapters and rich digital content to bring history to life.
