This centennial record of the changing face of Britain in the 20th century is primarily statistical. It sets out a broad description of how the life of the United Kingdom has developed from 1900 to 2000. Each chapter, written by a specialist, helps the reader to avoid the pitfalls of official statistics and also attempts to explain the arithmetic trends - economic, social and political.
