{"product_id":"9781137576798","title":"Contemporary Britain","description":"A British native, McCormick (political science, Indiana U., Indianapolis) has lived much of his life elsewhere, including much of the past 17 years in the U.S.  He presents a concise overview of contemporary Britain, examining how and why it is a different nation from that of the past, and the causes and effects of recent changes in the UK. Coverage includes an historical overview, focusing on postwar history; geography and resources; the social class system; politics and government; civil society; the economy; culture and lifestyle; and Britain's place in the world. Written for students, but accessible to the general reader, the text assumes no previous knowledge on the topic.
