The maps are as uncomplicated as the subject matter allows and the text is designed to be accessible to a wide range of readers.
The book was prepared to celebrate the centenary of the Geographical Assocation.
From it emerges a remarkable picture of the physical landscape.
Together with its companion volume, Britiain in the 1990s: A Social and Economic Atlas, it provides a comprehensive overview of the British Isles.
