The book is arranged alphabetically – why make it complicated? It covers the school curriculum subjects (identified in the text by ©) and it covers popular topics children and young people either enjoy, such as Dinosaurs, or need to know about, such as Relationships and Sex, or offer learning experiences outside of the classroom, such as Nature. There is no claim to be comprehensive, that is not the intention, but it does offer an extensive collection of quality resources from hundreds of different organisations including museums, universities, libraries, charities and interest bodies from around the UK. Over 300 are included but almost double that number were researched. This was not about quantity but undoubtedly about quality. All the resources included have been selected because they are very good or excellent. If a resource warrants being highlighted as excellent, this has been indicated. It also includes some great web platforms that offer information, worksheets and interactive activities and these too were given the same scrutiny. And of course, it was important to find free resources that could be accessed easily. This was not about paid subscriptions to online services, which, of course, have their place and are important too.

Within some subject headings there are ‘See also’ references where appropriate. For example, those interested in Animals and Birds are likely to find material of interest within Nature. Or the curriculum subject PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education), which covers learning about drugs, alcohol, online safety and health issues along with social skills and much more. Instead of including all those resources within PSHE, it was felt these would be better listed individually and those with a particular interest in PSHE encouraged to cross-reference to each specific topic.

There is an alphabetical index to search for specific terms that may span several fields of study. For example, there is certainly crossover with topics within History and Citizenship such as Black History and the Civil Rights Movement or Women's Suffrage and Voting Rights. There will be many more.
