Pacesetter is a four-level course that takes teenage students from beginner to intermediate level. Each level contains 15 teaching units and three consolidation units. The series is designed for mid-teen students who are highly-motivated and academic. The content is challenging and the language teaching moves at a quicker pace than in titles that were developed for markets where there are low expectations of students. Features include: a thorough and clearly signposted grammar syllabus; motivating topics which draw on students' own experiences and develop their interest in the world around them; integrated skills work; an engaging photostory at beginner and elementary level which incorporates informal language — at the higher levels three lively short stories encourage reading skills; practical review sections at the end of each unit and three consolidation units to provide appropriate levels of revision; and three guided projects which provide opportunities for more substantial and personal pieces of work. |

From out of the sky, from under the earth, from far out at sea — disaster comes. We build and invent new things — and sometimes bring disaster on ourselves. Today television and the Internet mean that we can watch disasters as they happen, and see their terrible results. From Pompeii to the Asian Tsunami, from the Great Fire of London to Chernobyl, the stories of disasters are frightening, but they have much to tell us. Disasters bring stories of fear, pain, loss, and death — but also of people whose extraordinary bravery and feeling for others will touch your heart. |

Thousands of years ago, people looked out across an ocean and asked themselves, What is on the other side? And the bravest of them began to travel and find the answers — beautiful islands, frozen lands, different peoples... And there are still interesting questions about the oceans. How do they change our weather? Why does the water go up and down twice a day? Why do most animals and plants live near the land? And what can possibly live at the bottom of the ocean, thousands of metres down, where there is no light? Surely nothing can stay alive in a place like that... |

It's an exciting life — full of fast cars, money, and travel. The names of Formula One champions are known all over the world. And everywhere young drivers dream of success one day in Monaco, Melbourne, Monza... But it is a difficult life too. Drivers need strong bodies — and minds. They need to think quickly, drive hard, and sometimes look death in the face. This is the dangerous, exciting world of Formula One — where the world's best drivers have only seconds to win or lose a race. |

The bride wore a long white dress, with flowers in her hair. After the wedding, there was a party, and people gave presents to the bride and groom. This wedding was nearly two thousand years ago, in Rome. Some things don't change. But some things do. Today you can have a wedding on a mountain, or under the sea, or Elvis can sing for you. And different things happen in different places. Little birds made of paper, small trees, money in the bride's shoe, and lots of noise — they are all important for weddings somewhere. Welcome to the wonderful world of weddings! |

In the summer of 1910, a race began. A race to be the first man at the South Pole, in Antarctica. Robert Falcon Scott, an Englishman, left London in his ship, the Terra Nova, and began the long journey south. Five days later, another ship also began to travel south. And on this ship was Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian. But Antarctica is the coldest place on earth, and it is a long, hard journey over the ice to the South Pole. Some of the travellers never returned to their homes again. This is the story of Scott and Amundsen, and of one of the most famous and dangerous races in history. |
