(Ebook) The Longman Handbook to Modern British History 1714 - 2001 by Chris Cook, John Stevenson ISBN 9781138151512, 1138151513

This handbook has attempted to provide a convenient and accessible companion for both teachers and students of British history from 1714 to the general election of June 2001. It is a much condensed work, bringing together a wealth of chronological, statistical and tabular information which is not to be found elsewhere within the confines of a single volume. The book covers not only political and diplomatic events but also the broader fields of social and economic history. It has been designed as a handbook for use by teachers as well as by sixth-formers and undergraduates. No book of this type can be entirely comprehensive. Rather, we have included those facts, figures and statistics that we believe are most needed for courses in later modern British history.
