Аннотация: In this new edition of the best-selling Pocket Guide: The History of Wales, J. Graham Jones has revised and expanded his text to include the 1990s. This illustrated volume succeeds in being both concise and comprehensive in its survey of Welsh history. Beginning with the Stone Age cave-dwellers who were the country's earliest inhabitants, it describes Celtic settlement, Roman and Norman invasion, the conquest by Edward I of England, the passage of the Acts of Union, the impact of religious change, of the Agrarian and Industrial Revolutions and of two world wars. It ends with a graphic account of the political, social and economic changes of the twentieth century. The book is attractively produced, with panels providing such additional information as succinct biographies of prominent figures and descriptions of major historical sites. There is also a list of important dates and a glossary of terms. This is an ideal introductory study for the general reader.
