Publisher's Synopsis

Abbreviations, Agriculture, Architecture, Areas of Outstanding Beauty, Art, Astrology and Astronomy - and that's just the letter 'A'!

The A TO Z OF BRITAIN AND IRELAND will follow the successful format of the previous titles in the series by treating the main topic areas in alphabetical order. Importantly, the book will cover all five countries in the British Isles, including Ireland, which is neglected by many similar books. Trevor will be as broad-ranging and exhaustive as ever: this will be the first book ever to list all the islands of the British Isles. (There are 6089 cited by the Ordnance Survey: 1082 inhabited, 5007 uninhabited.)
