Beyond Tourist Britain

<p>Britain is a land of paradox. Its borders are mostly physical</p><p>and very obvious on the map and yet it is impossible to say</p><p>what it really is or signifies for it is entire of itself and yet a</p><p>flowing synthesis of creatures and customs from around the</p><p>World. A fragment of storm-lashed land yet eponymously</p><p>great; a ramshackle polity whose demise has frequently been</p><p>forecast but never consummated.</p><p> </p><p>With words and pictures James R Warren presents some</p><p>characteristic themes exemplified by little things and</p><p>unfrequented places</p><p>which yet have stories of their own to tell</p><p>always engrossing and often momentous.</p><p><br></p><p>Full geographical co-ordinates are given for each monument location as well as at least one recent photograph. There are fifteen subtopic chapters.</p>
