About this ebook
This outstanding history describes and accounts for Britain's rise as the world's first industrial world power, its decline from the temporary dominance of the pioneer, its rather special relationship with the rest of the world (notably the underdeveloped countries) and the effects of all these on the life of the British people.

本书的内容非常全面细致，观点也很有见地很具有逻辑性，但是存在两个小问题影响阅读体验： 1. 作者的语言和表述习惯非常喜欢用长句和从句，使得行文表达极其冗长和错乱，如果能简化表达，多用短句和连接词会好很多！ 2. 作者的行文结构在时间顺序上有重叠，每一章的拆分和组织更多地是按照某个具体的议题方面来展开探讨，这样确实有它的好处，但是在特定时期内不同政治生态，经济社会状况与国际关系之间的联系和相互影响就比较难以综合体现，个人感觉可能集中一段时期内就各领域的变迁之间的相互关系能够综合起来构思和梳理一下可能会使得观点更加有质量！
