History and Geography are dynamic and diverse disciplines, but
disciplines that always displayed integrative abilities and
potential because human actions in spaces and places matter in
both. In History, the human past concerns time and space. In
Geography, space and spatiality dominate and can include humanity.
Teaching and learning History and Geography in the South African
classroom is the first textbook to consider History and Geography
as interconnected disciplines in the South African education
context. This book guides readers through developments in the
History and Geography fields, new focus areas and some refreshed
teaching and learning possibilities unlocked by technology. Drawing
on prodigious research, experts in these fields impart
recommendations for teaching, understanding, learning and assessing
these subjects purposefully. Teaching and learning History and
Geography in the South African classroom is aimed at educators and
prospective educators in the Social Sciences, History and Geography
programmes. Elize van Eeden is a professor at North-West
University, and chairs the subject group History at the Vaal

of Higher Education. She has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed
articles, and has contributed chapters in 18 books as either
co-writer or editor. Elize has authored 12 History books, one being
the textbook, Didactical guidelines for teaching history in a
changing South Africa (1999). Her main research interest is
regional history in multidisciplinary research environments and its
application in regional history in teaching. Pieter Warnich is a

Every year, hundreds of the most beautiful people in the world come
to New York to become models. At age fourteen, Cheryl Diamond was
one of them. Living on her own in a run-down apartment, Cheryl
spent her days on go-sees, runways, and shoots, surviving
hand-to-mouth, while taking in everything she could about the tough
and sleazy modeling industry. She watched other girls make
mistakes, and swore she wouldn't be a victim...until a
career-altering event changed her life and nearly ruined her shot
at her dream. This is the riveting, true account of Cheryl's
triumphant rise, disastrous fall, and phoenix-like comeback in one
of the hottest and most demanding industries in the world.
From toilets, bread and blue jeans to aeroplanes, microwaves and
computers, this title explains how, when and why the ingenious
inventions that surround us were created. The development of one
invention is detailed over each double page, revealing the
real-life stories behind each creation, as well as how they have
been influenced by other discoveries over the ages. Humorous
illustrations by Adam Larkum show how the inventions work.
We've worked with teachers to develop versions of our core
textbooks that feature reduced content and language level,
providing greater support and enabling students of all abilities to
progress. Now available for the seven most popular options, these
foundation versions help make the GCSE content more accessible and
are designed to be easy-to-use alongside the core textbooks in a
mixed ability classroom and are also ideal for home learning. How
have we made them more accessible? We've reduced the level of the
language to remove difficult words or phrases when possible. All
the titles have been reviewed for reading age by a language expert.
Easy-to-use alongside the core GCSE textbooks with content covered
on each spread matched so you can use both versions together in a
mixed ability classroom. More of the difficult words that students
need to know are explained in key terms boxes, with definitions
repeated through the books to reinforce learning. We've made our
explanations more accessible for students targeting a grade 5 or
below. Where possible, we've replaced paragraphs of text with
easy-to-understand flow diagrams, mind maps or charts so there is
significantly less text on the pages for students to tackle. The
level of demand in the activities has been reduced and some of the
harder ones removed. Exam tips have been re-focused to offer advice
so that students of all abilities can secure as many marks as
possible. The 'Preparing for your exam' chapters have been
thoroughly rewritten with answers and commentary for students
working towards a grade 5. New artworks have been added to make
explanations more visual.
