The book presents a fresh, unused selection of 50 international cartoons from 1945 to the present - covering topics from the division of Germany to the East-West conflict, the controversial Muhammad cartoons, and the EU constitution. It offers the opportunity to introduce, develop, or review central curriculum-relevant themes in an innovative and varied way. The thematically grouped cartoons are also suitable for use in station-based learning as well as for collaborative review of key topics in preparation for the final exams. History in Cartoons also includes numerous foreign - primarily Anglo-Saxon - cartoons, making it suitable for bilingual history instruction. The concise and clear notes, interpretations, and work suggestions on double pages directly next to the cartoon enable the teacher.
