The British Isles with their old historic counties on a cloth-backed reproduction from the Old Folding Maps of a beautiful map published by the Stanford’s Geographic Establishment around 1859. Bright colours highlight the boundaries of the old counties as they were before the nonsensical / much needed (delete as you feel appropriate) changes in 1974. The pale background makes all the place names easy to read. In common with other maps published by Stanfords at that time, an unusually large number of small rivers are named, even the lovely Cuckmere is there. Ironically perhaps, the map provides an interesting contrast between the significant administrative changes within Great Britain & the retention of the county borders within Irel&, with just the change of the names from King’s & Queen’s to Offaly & Laois respectively – it’s the international border that has been added there. Each individual cloth-backed map is sold folded in a colourful case covered with a unique design marbled paper – no two cases are identical.PLEASE NOTE: this title is also available as a wall map in two different sizes in the “ Stanfords Classics Collection of Historical Maps”. To see the list of all the titles in this series from the Old Folding Maps please click on the series link. ...

Joe Hayman travels across the UK in the wake of the Brexit vote, speaking to Leave & Remain voters about the attitudes & experiences which made them vote the way they did & using those views to explore the political economy of post-referendum Britain. From Sunderland to Belfast, from Aberystwyth to Glasgow, Hayman uses sixteen chapters of interviews & analysis to knit together a picture of a nation where divisions of class, culture & faith bubble dangerously close to the surface. Pulling no punches & refusing to ignore divisions, Hayman`s book explores some of the major fault-lines in British society, from identity, immigration & integration to Britain`s complex relationship with its past, & calls for urgent efforts to build a new political economy for the UK, with a stronger sense of social solidarity, shared identity & common values at its heart. The book is based on conversations with members of the public all around the country & gets deep under the skin of British society, exploring tough attitudes & cultural divisions which can be swept under the carpet no longer. ...
