Preface to the New and Revised Edition:
British Life and Institutions has been used by students and teachers of English in Germany (and other countries) for many years. It has now been rewritten to present German readers in particular with an introduction to the way of life and the social and political institutions of the United Kingdom as they are in the mid-1970s.
New material has been introduced in all chapters and it is presented so as to emphasize the changes which have occurred in the organisation of British affairs and the way British people regard themselves and the rest of the world.
In some ways this is a very different book from its successful predecessor. But the important things about it remain. It gives, at an intermediate range of language difficulty, a concise and detailed survey of the main features of British life and institutions, and it provides a handy and compact work of reference, well indexed.
While its use will be chiefly as a classroom reader, British Life and Institutions is also well-designed for private study.
Each chapter is self-contained and gives a complete treatment of one aspect of British life, which may be read in isolation: except for the first two introductory sections it is not essential that the chapters should be read in the order in which they appear.
