Reviews
The increased focus on science is educationally correct, but without the study of history the foundation of all learning is soft. Elton, who taught history at Cambridge, clearly traces the shaping of the English people from barbarian groups to those who came to be called English to the ascendancy of "the mighty British." The book provides a perspective on the grueling development of governing and governance. Though the anglicized spelling may deter some readers, public libraries will find this a viable purchase; it is also a welcome choice for school libraries.
