British Life and Institutions is an in-depth study of British society at a time of important changes. This completely new edition of a well-established title

looks at both the public and private sides of the country and its people.



For students of English at upper intermediate level, this book provides a wealth of fascinating information and opinion. Many opportunities for stimulating discussion and cross-cultural comparison are provided in provocative questions.



Twenty-two chapters cover every aspect of British life, from the economy and the law, to art and popular culture. Ten of the chapters are complemented by authentic interviews. Famous and ordinary people, from the Speaker of the House of Commons to someone who has experienced homelessness on the streets of London, express their own ideas. The interview transcripts are included in the book and the recordings are available on CD (Klett no.513382 ) or cassette (Klett no.513381).
