British Social Attitudes Reviews

"..the annual survey of British social attitudes - a document arguably more significant than the urban and rural white papers rolled together... New Start...fascinating snapshot. The Guardian...a highly-respected annual study. Daily Mail...an indispensable tool not just for governments, but also for modern citizens to understand their fellows, and themselves better. The Times Higher Education Supplement"
