Power and Authority in the Modern World: Investigating and Interpreting the Sources was been written for the HSC Modern History Core, a unit that explores the National Socialist regime in Germany, the origins and consequences of two global conflicts and the world's attempts to avert war. The authors have developed an approach to these topics that combines the practice of historians with the needs of senior secondary students. Like the historian, students engage with a synthesis of the secondary literature as a prelude to investigating and interpreting the sources. The use of sources embeds the historical concepts and skills of analysis and use sources, interpretation, investigation, and research, to cultivate the ability to explain and communicate the results of the students' learning. Through this approach students, like historians, actively use the historical concepts of continuity and change, perspectives, significance, causation, and contestability. By applying the historical skills and concepts, students become more than simple observers of the past. They are empowered to understand power and authority in the modern world and its implications for the 21st century as active citizens.This book has been written specifically to align with the NSW Modern History Syllabus.
