Historical Britain: Using the Physical Evidence of Landscape, Buildings and Artefacts to Interpret the Development of Britain from Prehistory to the Present Day

By (author) Eric Stuart Wood, Illustrated by Rex Nicholls






| book description |

This volume can be used both as a chronological history of the development of Britain and as a work of reference. It looks at the origins, evolution and progress of Britain's villages, towns, universities, pubs and parks, farms and industries, explaining everything from Iron Age forts to the iron bridges to the Industrial Revolution. Each entry describes the subject under discussion and sets it in the context of the developing pattern of Britain's history. Designed to appeal to the general reader, as well as to students of archaeology and British history, the book illustrates archaeological sites and landscapes, cross-sections and plans of all kinds of buildings, as well as tools, agricultural and industrial machinery. Eric Wood is the author of Collins Field Guide to Archaeology in Britain . Artist and illustrator Rex Nicholls is the illustrator of The Times Atlas of World History and The Times Atlas of the Bible .
