The latest topic book in the 'Think Through History' series, this book focuses on Islam and the Islamic world. It follows the familiar approach of the whole series, of taking big enquiry questions as a focus for a series of activities. A mixture of outline and depth, the content follows the story of the growth and spread of Islam across the world, and tries to get pupils to access it's impact. The final chapter, 'Three Toms travels' explores direct contact between England and the world of Islam towards the end of the period.
Carefully written to suit Year 7, both in language and approach, this is an exciting new opportunity to explore the reasons for the impact of Islam on the world today, through carefully explaining the origins and beliefs of Muslims.
