Britain by Numbers A Visual Exploration of People and Place

How much more do Brits drink than they should? Why do immigrants go there? How have house prices changed in the past decade? What do they spend their money on? Britain by Numbers answers all these questions and more, vividly bringing the nation to life in new and unexpected ways by showing who lives here, where they work, who they marry, what crimes they commit, and much else besides. Beautifully designed and illustrated throughout, it takes the reader on a fascinating journey up and down the land, enriching their understanding of a complex—and contradictory—country.
