Produktbeschreibung
Britain is a land of paradox. Its borders are mostly physical and very obvious on the map, and yet it is impossible to say what it really is, or signifies, for it is entire of itself and yet a flowing synthesis of creatures and customs from around the World. A fragment of storm-lashed land, yet eponymously great; a ramshackle polity whose demise has frequently been forecast, but never consummated. With words and pictures James R Warren presents some characteristic themes, exemplified by little things and unfrequented places, which yet have stories of their own to tell, always engrossing and often momentous. Full geographical co-ordinates are given for each monument location as well as at least one recent photograph. There are fifteen subtopic chapters.
