Britain continues to occupy the world's imagination with an enduring influence on popular culture and the colorful legacy of England's monarchy. It's as if the UK's history began with the British Invasion of the Beatles or the fairy tale wedding of Charles and Diana. But we know better than that. "The Encyclopedia of Britain" offers students an in-depth look -- more than 6,000 detailed articles -- at the entire fascinating culture and history of the UK. This brand new resource is the largest, most comprehensive encyclopedia of Britain available. It covers UK institutions, personalities, language, geography, landmarks, politics and more. Entries are alphabetically arranged, and are supplemented with maps, photographs, related Web sites, chronologies and tables to enhance their reference value and ease of use. The "Encyclopedia" balances articles that examine the serious side of UK life with information on the quirkier side of British obsessions. In a single volume, students will find answers to their questions about these aspects of British life: Men and women who have made distinctive contributions Significant historical events and movementsTowns and places, including key tourist destinations Science and technology Literature, visual arts, architecture, music, TV, film and sports Customs and traditions And much moreOn the lighter side, the "Encyclopedia" includes 200 notable quotes on Britain and 40 articles on British pop culture, food, pubs, the film industry and more.
