Drawing on the latest archaeological and historical evidence, Ian Morris shows how much the meaning of Britain's geography has changed in the 10,000 years since rising seas began separating the Islesfrom the Continent, and how these changing meanings have determined Britons' destinies. From being merely Europe's fractious, feuding periphery - divided by customs, language and landscape, and always at the mercy of more powerful continental neighbours - the British turned themselves into a United Kingdom and put it at the centre of global politics, commerce and culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut as power and wealth now shift from the West towards China, what fate awaits Britain in the twenty-first century?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor(s): Morris, Ian, \u003cbr\u003e Binding: Paperback, \u003cbr\u003e Date of Publication: 02\/02\/2023,\u003cbr\u003e Pagination: 576 pages, B\u0026amp;W illustrations and maps; B\u0026amp;W illustrations and maps,\u003cbr\u003e Series: N\/A, \u003cbr\u003eImprint: Profile Books Ltd,\u003cbr\u003e Published By: Profile Books Ltd,\u003cbr\u003e Book Classification: Europe,\u003cbr\u003e ISBN13\\EAN\\SKU: 9781781258361\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40852672708652,"sku":"9781781258361","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/products\/9781781258361.jpg?v=1670452376","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9781781258361","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
