Customer Reviews
Very Useful
I found this book very enjoyable to read. I am a student currently researching my dissertation, and needed to find out more about classes in Britain.
This book kept my interest very well. Other books on the same subject I have found to be very dull, but this one puts across the information in a relatively entertaining and informative way. I would recommend it to anyone interested in finding out more about Britain's social history.
The book also provides a good further reading list which I found very useful.
Great for A-Level Citizenship!
I bought this to help me teach A-Level Citizenship as the textbook had not been published... Very interesting and useful! Recommended to teachers and students alike (as well as interested others!)
