Book for College studetns and refrence
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
While the book contains a good view of British History, it is a very dry read. I used this book in a class on early British history and found it an excellent background source book, but not for the casual reader. One stunning aspect that the book contains that many do not is a section on pre-roman Britain. Most books start British History at the arivals of the Romans in Britain, yet this one gives a good account of the Beaker folk, those who built Stonehenge, and the rest of early England. I've tried to use this as a refrence book and have found it somewhat difficult to easily flip to sections that contained focused and collected information, but I do reconment it to those who need a better background to English history and events.
A text book History of England
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book gives an excellent historical background to the history of Britain. It does not present any theories, views, or concentrations, and thus makes a good read for those looking for a thurough basis of British History. I have tried to use this book as a refrence book but often have difficulties as many topics are not focused enough in sections and tend to drag out over the whole chapter. While this makes an excellent scholastic book, I would not recomend it to casual readers.
