First published in 2000. Within the last decade the UK has undergone major shifts in terms of its land, economy, society, polity and environment, all of which have had a profound effect on the geographical landscape. This fully revised edition of a widely-appreciated book presents a full description and interpretation of the changes that have occurred during the 1990s. It includes a great deal of new material from a revised team of contributors.
