Sobre IBD

Britain is a land of paradox. Its borders are mostly physicaland very obvious on the map, and yet it is impossible to saywhat it really is, or signifies, for it is entire of itself and yet aflowing synthesis of creatures and customs from around theWorld. A fragment of storm-lashed land, yet eponymouslygreat; a ramshackle polity whose demise has frequently beenforecast, but never consummated. With words and pictures James R Warren presents somecharacteristic themes, exemplified by little things andunfrequented places,which yet have stories of their own to tell,always engrossing and often momentous.Full geographical co-ordinates are given for each monument location as well as at least one recent photograph. There are fifteen subtopic chapters.
