requiring little preparation;

that turns out to be unsuitable?
If you buy anything (except posters) from our catalogue
and it does not meet your needs, you can return it to our warehouse

in a saleable condition, with the original invoice. We do not cover
postage on returned items.

age group within subject. In the inside back cover, you will find
an index by Continent and Country, and an index by topic/theme –
Children, Conflict and Peace, Environment, Food and Farming, Health,
Racism, Trade and Debt, Water and many more. Request
a print copy here and we'll post one out to you.
