Gardiner V., Matthews H. The changing geography of the United Kingdom
London and New York: Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, 1999. - 528 p.

Providing an integrated survey of how the geography of the United Kingdom has changed
through the 1990s, this book offers an understanding of the social, economic, political and
physical forces bringing about change. It captures the changing geography of the country at
a time of particular interest, with the 1990s seeing not only a change in govement but also
radical shifts in policies in many areas.
All aspects of the social, economic, political and physical geography of the United
Kingdom are covered. The basic primary use of the resources afforded by the physical
environment are assessed through chapters on water, energy and bulk resources. The book
then proceeds to address the geographies of manufacturing and service sectors, before
considering the social issues arising, and the political frameworks within which the social,
economic and physical processes moulding the geography of the country operate. The
relationships between the people of the United Kingdom and their environment are considered
further in chapters addressing topics such as physical hazards, pollution, conservation and
climatic change. The book focuses on changes throughout the 1990s, although the final
chapters look towards possible changes in the future.

He is seen here in the company of his fellows: Warwick the Kingmaker, Clarence, Northumberland, Somerset, Hastings a the Wydeville...
