Rezensionen
'Through the appropriately "modern" concepts of survey, site andidentity, Gilbert, Matless and Short offer us an enticing set ofprecise vignettes, framing a geographical interpretation of Britishmodernity. This book sketches an agenda for what will be anenduring preoccupation among historical geographers in "millennial"Britain.' Denis Cosgrove, University of California, LosAngeles

"This landmark volume stands as the first work of historicalgeography to cover the whole span of the twentieth century. Throughthe analysis of broad patterns of change and the close scrutiny ofparticular spaces the contributors draw out the contours of Britishmodernity since 1900 and demonstrate the vitality of contemporaryhistorical geography." Miles Ogborn, Queen Mary College,University of London
