9780340735114: Landmarks of Britain: The Five Hundred Places That Made Our History

Synopsis

Landmarks of Britain is the history of the nation, told through the places where it actually happened. Each of the landmarks that Clive Aslet describes tells the story of a great event or figure, and the effect is a sweeping panorama of history, encompassing battlefields, cathedrals, palaces, and places linked with great events in the worlds of science, literature, architecture, religion, espionage, sport, agriculture, and industry. Sites include those associated with the discovery of vaccination and penicillin, the splitting of the atom, the writing of the Messiah, Paradise Lost, and On the Origin of Species, the coinage of the phrase "Anno Domini" and of the equals sign, the smashing of the four-minute mile, and the landing places of the rats that brought the Black Death.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. LANDMARKS OF BRITAIN is the history of the nation, told through the places where it happened. Each if the 'landmarks' that Clive Aslet describes tells the sweeping panorama of history, encompassing battlefields, cathedrals and palaces, of course, but also places linked with great events in the worlds of science, literature, architecture, religion, espionage, sport, agriculture and industry. The splitting of the atom; where the Enigma code was cracked and the four-minute-mile smashed; the landing places of Julius Caesar and the rats that brought the Black Death; the invention of photography, television and radar, as well as the birth and resting places of princes, poets and plutocrats -- you can wander through all these moments in the history of Britain, and see the ways they have changed the country we live in now. With LANDMARKS OF BRITAIN at your side and Clive Aslet as your guide you can visit these very sites and many more the length and breadth of the nation. Take a walk through British history -- you live near somewhere extraordinary and you don't even know it. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001387169
