Whitaker's Concise Almanack 2013 is the definitive reference guide to the UK. The concise edition is a UK-centric gold-mine of information with enormous breadth of coverage. At less than half the price of the standard edition the reader with an interest in UK facts and figures is really getting value for money. Areas covered include: government and politics, education, religion, defence, the UK legal system, banking and finance, taxation, royalty and peerage, social welfare, environment, heritage, astronomy, and much more - quite simply, the UK in one volume!
