Customer Reviews

BTEC ND Health & Social Care - Edexcel endorsed!
I am very disappointed by this book and cannot believe that Edexcel have endorsed it. It is poorly pitched and more like a level 2 publication. In substance it is lacking - e.g. functionalism and Marxism are afforded 3 to 4 sentences in Sociological Perspectives (and this is meant to be level 3!?!). Stretch, while not perfect, is so much better than this.
This book does not prepare students for higher education.
