Description
"England is a country of distinguished beauty; of diverse and impressive landscapes, of picturesque villages and thriving cities, a land with a wealth of history and tradition. Since its first Neolithic inhabitants, England has seen the prosperity and downfall of various races including Romans, Saxons and Normans. Many great dynasties have ruled this island, and the country still reflects the power and dominance of its rich array of kings and queens: the good, the evil, the courageous and the weak. Castles, stately homes, statues and a multitude of other memorials to this illustrious and tumultuous history can be found throughout the country. England is a celebration of one of the most captivating countries in the world, and contains 150 stunning photographs of the most beautiful and fascinating places in England. Each picture is accompanied by detailed information about the history and geography that surrounds it. There are ancient ruins and celebrated buildings as well as breathtaking landscapes of rivers and valleys, rugged cliffs and gently rolling hills. Also featured are images of contemporary English life and culture. This is a magnificent photographic guide to the impressive splendor and opulent history of England"--Provided by publisher.
