Abstract
This exciting book presents the history of Oxfordshire in a way never previously available. Through concise and expert texts, accompanied by more than 120 specially drawn maps, it captures current knowledge of the archaeology, landscape, buildings and history of the county. Some 70 topics range from geology and prehistory to the 20th century motor industry.
Oxfordshire has been one of the most active counties for historical and archaeological investigation, but has not previously had an historical atlas to set alongside those already published for other counties. Now the results of this research have been distilled into accessible form by over 40 experts in what promises to become a contemporary classic, a reference work of lasting value and a pointer to future enquiries.
