《当代英国(第2版)》主要内容:A major European power, a leading voice in world affairs, birthplace of the parliamentary system, the pioneer of industrialization, and a dominating influence on Western culture, British society has shaped the world and continues to do so, even as today it finds itself adapting to a new globalized order. In this completely revised and updated second edition of Contemporary Britain,best-selling author John McCormick provides an authoritative and thoughtprovoking introduction to British society, geography, politics and culture,discussing the evolution of economic and social policy, and Britain' s new place in Europe and the world.
Its major theme is change and the often dramatic upheavals that Britain hasundergone, from reconstruction after the Second World War through the legaciesof Thatcher and Blair to today' s challenges of multiculturalism and integrationwith the rest of Europe. Rejecting the thesis of decline, it argues that Britainhas become a more successful society whose citizens are looking less at thepast and more at present challenges and future possibilities. Assuming no priorknowledge and illustrated throughout with figures and tables, boxes focusingon key issues, and an extensive guide to further reading and relevant websites,Contemporary Britain is the ideal starting point for students and interestedgeneral readers alike.Review of the first edition:" Very well written and very readable ... While this book would be ideallysuited to students from overseas, there is much here for students from theBritish Isles ... [A] useful and interesting ... starting point for research andfurther reading ... This book achieves its aims very well."
