Reviews

This is a veritable Domesday Book of 21st Century British identities, as rich in argument as in data. Each chapter is a feast - not just for social scientists but for anyone who cares about changing Britain for the better. Nick Pearce, Director, Institute for Public Policy Research Thomas and Dorling's illustrative and provocative atlas, Identity in Britain, provides an important function of maps, offering a sense of where we are now, and where we might want to be. Look at it, and be thrilled by the pleasure that a new way of seeing things can bring. Helen Roberts, The Institute of Education, University of London
