PHILLIPS, DAVID & WILLIAMS, ALLAN. Rural Britain. A Social Geography.Oxford, Basil Blackwell, 1984. 8vo, pp. VIII, 274. Publisher's cloth in the original pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated. The authors aim to make a contribution to the field of Rural Social Geography, a subject about which, in Great Britain, less has been published than about urban geography. They make clear that there are many reasons for paying more attention to this area, as social life in the rural area has become much more complex since World War II, while changes in land use and economic conditions have also added many problems. The work examines the economic forces that influence provision of housing, employment and transport and, when there is difficult access to these and other services and facilities such as shops and schools, patterns of social disadvantage are created. In their concluding chapter, the authors give their opinion on the planning principles and planning problems for the future. With many figures, maps and drawings, an index and an extensive bibliography.
