9780791095140: England (Modern World Nations)

Synopsis

Since Alfred the Great united England in the 9th century CE, this northwestern European country has played a prominent role in world affairs. From its early days as the world's leading naval power - which enabled it to spread its influence over an area larger than one-fourth of the world's surface - to the period when it served as the center of the Industrial Revolution, England has long been one of the world's most influential countries. Newly updated and featuring striking full-color photographs, maps, and other accessible study features, ""England"" is a detailed exploration of the people, culture, history, geography, environment, economy, and government of this enduring nation.

Review

"There is an amazing wealth of information to be found in this book."

..."sprinkled with intriguing, eye-catching photos and interesting text that flows easily...an excellent introduction."

"The series does an excellent job of providing context and explanation for the modern states, rather than just a long narrative about dates, names and battles."

"New arrivals to the expanding Modern World Nations series should not be missed...assure readers plenty of material suitable for in-depth reports, yet a lively enough style to lend to browsing. All are lasting, ongoing recommendations for librarians seeking to build long-term, quality collections."
