SynopsisOCR GCSE Additional Applied Science Essentials covers all the exam-assessed content on the OCR Additional Applied Science specification. It is designed to help students get the most out of their revision information is broken down into manageable chunks and higher tier material is clearly differentiated on the page. " Separate topics clearly labelled and units differentiated by colour " Exam-style questions at the end of each topic, The satirical Flatland was published in 1884 by the English clergyman and headmaster Edwin A. Abbott. It is the fanciful tale of A. Square, a two-dimensional being who is whisked away by a mysterious visitor to The Land of Three Dimensions, an experience that forever alters his worldview. By contemplating the notion of dimensions beyond their own, Abbott's Victorian readers were exposed to the then-radical idea of a fourth dimension - preparing them for Einstein's theories of relativity. Like the book itself, Ian Stewart's commentary takes readers on a strange and wonderful journey.
