Quick Overview
The relationship between Britain and Europe has rarely been debated as fiercely as today. The splits in the major political parties reflect the strength of conflicts over Britain's role in Europe. Today's concerns about British national identity have historical precedents that stretch back to medieval race riots and Roman invectives against the "little Brits". Britain's European Heritage is a timely and welcome survey which sheds some clear historical light on this controversial topic. This book raises important issues concerning the origins of the majority of modern Britons in the light of a shared heritage with the European mainland. It celebrates the European aspects of Britain's past, while paying tribute to the vast number of European visitors who came, stayed, and molded these islands. In the process Britain was changed irrevocably. Britain's European Heritage will be of interest to all those, of whatever origin, who wish to gain a greater understanding of Britain's past. At the same time it offers a challenging new perspective on current debates over relations with the rest of Europe. - Jacket flap.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
