Product Description
Product Description
This is an atlas of British history, covering the history of these islands from prehistoric times to the present day. It has been compiled by a team of leading academic historians, with cartography based on recent findings and research. Instead of emphasizing English history at the expense of Welsh, Scottish and Irish history, this atlas places equal emphasis on each part of the British Isles and explores the ways in which each region has affected the others. The text is accompanied throughout by specially commissioned maps and hundreds of full-coloured photographs.

This is a good introduction to British and Irish history and is full of neatly drawn maps and pictures as well as photographs which accompany the text in conveying the various subjects.
Whilst it is a good all purpose guide it does at times become rather dull, in some sections the writing does become a bit drab but it does make a good reference guide.

An Absolute Steal!
26 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
This is a fantastic historical atlas. I have a collection of dozens of historical atlases and the quality is not always high. Too often topical historical "atlases" have too few actual maps -- most of which are just reprinted from earlier historical atlases.
"The Penguin Atlas of British & Irish History" is the exact opposite. There's an original full-color map on every page. The atlas covers the whole length of British history from the Ice Age to the Chunnel. The maps are very well made and detailed, alternating between overviews of the whole of the British Isles and close-ups of particular cities, regions, and topics. One particularly nice touch is original panoramic reconstructions of historic sites including: Roman-era London, Viking-era York, Medieval Norwich, Tudor-era London, 18th-century Dublin and Edinburgh, 19th-century Manchester, and contemporary London...
