Heinemann for questions, not too sure about theory. From my experience, Heinemann's good for theory if you've got a basic understanding from somewhere else first. It's not the greatest at explaining, but its got more detail than the other textbooks as far as I can tell. Never really found a textbook with good basic explanations though, but I only went through Nelson and Heinemann anyway. Your teacher should hopefully give you enough of a foundation to use Heinemann though.

Completely agree there.  I think that's why most schools use Heinemann.  I use Jacaranda and Heinemann.  I sue the Heinemann for questions and Jacaranda for cross-reference with the theory.

If you want an alternative to Heinemann, Jacaranda and Science Dimensions are pretty good.  However, I've heard the opposite from Nelson...
