Nov 16, Shirley Revill rated it it was amazing Shelves: educationalfactualhistorynon-fictionthought-provoking. Really enjoyed this book. Hard to put down. Oct 29, Jacqueline Hendriks rated it it was amazing. As a none Brit this book was a great resource to learn more about British history, it's hard to put down and Victors beautifully drawn pictures are a big plus. Apr 06, P. Lindsay rated it it was amazing Shelves: research. Based on the Channel Four Archaeological television series digs this a history book which should be read carefully by any non-British writer of historical novels set in Britain. Well written, without being too abstruse or talking down to the reader, it is actually an easy and entertaining book to read. Events from each era have been chosen as key events so that the book takes the reader steadily through the growth and development of the human race as well as a country. Of course, as a Time Team book, much is made of archaeological evidence and the Team digs feature in each era. A stone axe is a stone axe, until details of its making, where it came from and why it was so vital to human development are shown via photos The Time Team Guide to the History of Britain information from the dig sites. An old factory is just a ruin until all those dig details fit together and make historical sense. I would recommend it as a useful reference book, particularly for writers who need a resource for some basic historical facts. Opinionated of course, controversial, possibly, it is the Time team after all, the book does give a sense of relevance to British history. Dec 09, Bjoern rated it liked it Shelves: readssachbuch.

But then the book tries far too hard to combine a general outline and basic level explanation of british history with a basic companion work to the Time Team television series and its many intriguing and varied "digs" to truly succeed in either goal. References to the actual archeological work of the TV program mostly are kept to annecdotal examples at the end of larger scale summary chapters for the time periods and main relevant arche at least the history presented seems to be well researched. References to the actual archeological work of the TV program mostly are kept The Time Team Guide to the History of Britain annecdotal examples at the end of larger scale summary chapters for the time periods and main relevant archeological types of find during them while on the other hand the ability to portray the whole broadth and depth of british history comes a bit short under the sadly strictly limited pagespace BUT on the other side there is the awesome design and presentation of dozens of wide lens photographs of the archeological sites and a similar number of the awesomely The Time Team Guide to the History of Britain pictures Victor Ambrose the programs historical painter contributed to the format which make the book at least visually a proper feast for the eyes and kind of a nice coffee table book to thumb through for the vaguely historically interested person, even when the content of historical information or TV program trivia is a bit underwhelming. For the pictures alone the buy was worth it.
