  Intended for both the student and the general reader, this historical atlas surveys the story of Britain from earliest times to the present day. The maps and diagrams which accompany the text cover a range of topics which includes wars and battles, voyages of exploration and expansion, the migration of peoples, the growth of settlements into towns, changes in the religious, political, social, cultural and economic life of the country, diplomacy and foreign policy and developments in trade, transport, agriculture and industry. The illustrations include photographs and paintings of people, places and events which have contributed to Britain's story. The book is divided into two parts - political and economic/social - and the individual chapters have been researched and written by specialists in the respective subjects.
