Rezensionen
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This dictionary is an indispensable adjunct to the work of any serious historian. Most helpful for me is its fine coverage of Irish history."
"I find the dictionary to be of great value and thoroughly recommend it."
"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!"
