A Compendium of Video and Audio Materials for Students of Advanced Level Government and Politics

A Compendium of Video and Audio Materials for Students of Advanced Level Government and Politics, Sociology and History and for the General Reader. [There are also some articles.]

This page will contain information on various topic links to some resources which may enable students to widen and deepen their knowledge and understanding of political and/or sociological issues which are directly covered in the Advanced Level Politics and Government and Sociology Specifications but I have also included links to items of more general political and/or sociological importance which may be of interest to both Advanced Level students and general readers as the world faces increasingly difficult challenges to the achievement of social justice and environmental sustainability.

Some acknowledgements and useful additional links

I am very grateful to Scarlet Monahan who has helped me to publicise my work on Twitter via Retweets to her very numerous followers. You may click the following link for Scarlet's own website containing examples of her artwork and her satirical animations redintherain [Scarlet Monahan]

Steve Bassett from the Sociology Department of Park College Eastbourne has produced several very informative Podcasts investigating Democracy, the State, the Mass Media, Political Parties, Pressure Groups, Development and Under-Development and much more.

There are now a large number of links on these topics so this page has been sectioned off for easier navigation to the information you are looking for.

I hope that the following menu links will help visitors to navigate among them. The most recent additions are a number of links on American Presidencies and Presidential Elections
