Revolution in France looks at the turbulent times that shook France
at the end of the 18th century and at the rise and fall of Napoleon
and his empire. From the basic social inequalities of the time,
through the events of the revolution itself, to the career of
Napoleon Bonaparte, the story of the age is brought to life through
an imaginative and wonderfully diverse array of sources. Finally,
pupils are reminded that, despite the eventual fall of Napoleonic
France, the legacy of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Era
is still with us.

In 1910, Captain Robert Scott prepared his crew for a trip that no
one had ever completed: a journey to the South Pole. He vowed to
get there any way he could, even if it meant looking death in the
eye. Then another intrepid explorer, Roald Amundsen, set his sights
on the same goal. Suddenly two teams were vying to be the first to
make history - what was to be an expedition had become a perilous
race. In 2018, Captain Louis Rudd readied himself for the first
solo crossing of treacherous Antarctica. But little did he know
that the athlete Colin O'Brady was training for the same trek - and
he was determined to beat Louis Rudd to the finish line. This
gripping account of two history-making moments of exploration and
competition is perfect for budding scientists, survivalists, and
thrill seekers.
