5.0 out of 5 stars For Students, 11 Aug 2004
I think "British Culture: An Introduction" is particularly helpful book for foreign students, as it provides basic information on many important aspects of British society. It is easy to read and can be used as a reference source for students and tutors studying a variety of subjects including Arts, Media, Sociology, History, Language, Literature and others.
I recommend it as a guide to British Culture for all foreign students coming to the UK.
