Twentieth-Century British Social Trends
3rd Edition
Edited By A.H. Halsey and Josephine Webb
'Twentieth-Century British Social Trends' is a centennial record of the
changing face of Britain in the twentieth century. Primarily statistical,
the book sets out a broad description of how the life of the United Kingdom
has developed from 1900 to 2000. Each chapter, written by a leading
specialist, guides the reader through the statistical data, helping them to
avoid the pitfalls of official statistics and to summarise and interpret
trends.
