Summary
The key processes that have shaped the geography of modern Britain are rooted in the significant demographic, economic, technological and social transitions of the early eighteenth century, the impact of which was not fully diffused through the nation and its regions until the mid twentiethcentury. In this country-wide survey, Richard Lawton and Colin Pooley examine the nature of this transformation, the processes of structural change in British society and Britain's place within an international economy and polity.
