Very Useful 22 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I found this book very enjoyable to read. I am a student currently researching my dissertation, and needed to find out more about classes in Britain.

This book kept my interest very well. Other books on the same subject I have found to be very dull, but this one puts across the information in a relatively entertaining and informative way. I would recommend it to anyone interested in finding out more about Britain's social history.

The book also provides a good further reading list which I found very useful.

I bought this to help me teach A-Level Citizenship as the textbook had not been published... Very interesting and useful! Recommended to teachers and students alike (as well as interested others!)

An acadmic overview 14 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
This book is way beyond me, quite over my head or concentration level. It is very dense and scholarly, fine for others but not what I enjoy and learn from.
