Reviews:
The publication of Inside Britain marks a much needed and huge step forward in the ways in which the British constitution is presented to young people. Its very attractive and informative style will appeal to students and their teachers so it will quickly become a most valuable new resource. As a reference book, text book or handy pocket guide, it is unique; through it the British constitution becomes a living reality and its users will become increasingly aware of the part they have to play in it.

Invaluable resource that can be used for reference in class. The format is very engaging. Students today have a strong sense of justice and fair play and this helps them to understand the context of the law in the UK. Students have found the case studies very up to the minute and interesting.

Inside Britain is designed to be an accessible guide to the way the country works and to provide students with the knowledge to genuinely explore what it means to be an effective citizen in 21st Century Britain. Drawing on history, the guide aims to illuminate the way our own shared traditions and institutions have developed over time, and the ways in which these have shaped contemporary British society.
