| Abstract

The United Kingdom has changed very rapidly in recent years. Within the last decade it has undergone major shifts in terms of its land, economy, society, polity and environment all of which have had a profound effect on the geographical landscape. This fully revised edition of a widely appreciated book presents a full description and interpretation of the changes that have occurred during the 1990s and provides an understanding of the social, economic, political and physical forces bringing about change.
