Title Details

Abbreviations, Agriculture, Architecture, Areas of Outstanding Beauty, Art, Astrology, and Astronomy—and that's just the letter A! Following the successful format of the previous titles in the series, this book treats the main topic areas in alphabetical order. Importantly, all five countries in the British Isles are covered, including Ireland, which is neglected by many similar books. From the oddities of Oxford and Orkney to the quirks of Shetland and Sligo, this reference is as broad-ranging and exhaustive as ever—and is the first book ever to list all 6,089  islands of the British Isles.
