Whitaker's Concise Almanack 2009 is the definitive reference guide to the UK. A softback, shorter version of its big sister, Whitaker's Almanack , the Concise edition is packed with thousands of UK-centric facts,
figures and statistics on a wide range of subjects. The only difference
between this and the standard edition is that it doesn't include the
international coverage of the standard edition, so the reader is really
getting value for money at half the price.
Areas of coverage include: government and politics, communications,
private and state education, religion, environment, cultural heritage,
the UK legal system, royalty and peerage, social welfare (including
pensions!), IT, mobile phone industry, environment, heritage, astronomy
of course, and much more - quite simply, the UK in one volume!
