Rezensionen

--Chris Wickham, FBA, Emeritus Chichele Professor of Medieval History, University of Oxford; author of Framing the Early Middle Ages: Europe and the Mediterranean, 400-800
"This dictionary can be used in two totally separate and distinct ways - as an information source or as a launch point for expanding knowledge - and it is for that reason that I am delighted to commend it." --Paul Gaskell, Oxfordshire Family Historian, Volume 35, No 3, December 2021 "More reliable than Wikipedia, more fun than Britannica, this invaluable book is the go-to for quick explanations of places, people, institutions and concepts in British and Irish history from the very beginning to the present day. Anyone who isn't sure about the detail of the history of these islands (and who is?) needs this book."

--Robert Gildea, FBA, Emeritus Professor of Modern History, University of Oxford; author of Backbone of the Nation: Mining Communities and the Great Strike of 1984-5
"This wide-ranging, succinct and factually watertight historical dictionary compiled by professional historians is a powerful antidote to the likes of ChatGPT and a must for all serious students and school, college and university libraries."

--Dr Pamela Nightingale, author of Enterprise, Money and Credit in England before the Black Death 1285-1349
"A readable, enjoyable and wide-ranging book which has quickly taught me a great deal about numerous aspects of Britain and Ireland throughout their history. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone interested in history."

--Charles Webster, Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, University of Oxford; author of The National Health Service: A Political History
"This dictionary is an indispensable adjunct to the work of any serious historian. Most helpful for me is its fine coverage of Irish history."

--John Steane, author of The Archaeology of the Medieval English Monarchy
"I find the dictionary to be of great value and thoroughly recommend it."

--Stephen Smith, formerly Headmaster of Bedford Modern School
"Just the kind of book that will help any student of history, and especially those at school. It provides an overview and links which draw you into each subject. It's so much fun to hold, read and dip into. Much better than any internet site!"
