Review quote:

The book is organized in such a way, that concepts, toolkit, link to TOK, approaches to learning, top tips, common mistakes, and syllabus content (including AOs) are presented at the right place in each topic per unit...
The authors are very consistent, throughout the book, in the way they classify and present key concepts and information.
.... the toolkit tools are introduced and explained in depth and breath. The authors have done an outstanding job in classifying all tools in this section.
The case studies presented are current, inclusive and diverse.
The exercises and practice questions are challenging and suitable for the DP.
