Fülszöveg

Landmarks of Britain Great Britain is one of the most diverse and beautiful nations in the world. To explore this island kingdom is to discover peaceful villages and fast-paced cities, lush, scenic countryside and wild, hostile terrain. It is alsó to embark upon a journey back through the centuries. Britain's history telis of the rise and fali of conquering races, and indeed of the Imperial shadow which this deceptively small land itself once east over half of the world's population. Still a dominant presence on the world stage, multi-cultural Britain is now looking to the future and to its new role within a united Europe. Using full page photographs and informative text, Landmarks of Britain presents 91 landmarks from England, Scotland and Wales - sites of interest and monuments recognised for their natural beauty, historical and cultural significance, and somé for their mysterious and unexplained existence.
