A-Z Handbooks (+ Online)

The ultimate subject dictionaries for the
Wiki generation!

From day one... to the night before your exams

  • Each handbook provides expert advice from leading authors and examiners in their subject to help familiarise students with all the key terms they need to know; the more important the term, the more detailed the entry.
  • Each entry begins with a clear definition, followed by an explanation and, where relevant, worked examples and cross-references to other key terms.
  • Each Handbook has been completely updated for the new AS and A2 specifications, includes detailed revision lists for each exam board and invaluable advice from leading examiners

 

And now A-Z Handbooks come with expert definitions … at the click of a mouse!

The new editions of A-Z Handbooks also include:

  • free online access to a supporting website to make searching for terms as quick as Wikipedia
  • additonal revision materials
  • a library to store key terms
  • and a free desktop widget for individual subscribers to bring concise definitions instantly to students’ fingertips.

What is a widget

The A-Z widget brings the content of each handbook and its definitions to your desktop, and it is free to individual subscribers. Provided you are online, the widget helps you check definitions for whatever you’re working on, bringing concise definitions instantly to your fingertips.
