Recenzii
Brilliant! I like the style and the content, which dissects and interprets census data in a way that provides bite-sized chunks ideal for students. The clear layout conveys a wealth of information in an accessible format. Sharon Wright, Department of Applied Social Science, University of Stirling
If academic subjects were hung on a Christmas tree, geography would be the star on top and Life in Britain the box of delights below. BMJ
