I learnt so much from this book,it's educational and informative without being dry and using technical jargon that makes books some difficult to plough through,this held my interest throughout.
I would recommend this book for parents to give to older children too,it's a very useful reference book.
Made me realise there are major gaps in my education,that this book has helped to fill!

It is a very informative book which presents information in a clear and practical way.
I would expect more visuals, yet the ones in the book are of excellent quality.
Hope to visit some parts of Britain soon.
