Founded in 1922, the British Broadcasting Corporation is probably the most well-known national radio corporation in the world, but the BBC is just part of the British radio picture. There are "pirate" radio stations, community radio, commercial radio, and more recently, experimentation and development in the digital arena. All aspects of the 85 years of UK radio, from issues of regulation to the role played by commercial operators prior to World War II, are covered in this new book by Seán Street. The Historical Dictionary of British Radio relates the history of this medium through a chronology, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on the BBC and other companies, many of the specific stations, the more memorable programs and those who wrote for or appeared on them, and the administrative and technical aspects. This quick reference tool's structure and ease of navigation will have scholars, students, radio industry professionals, journalists, and critics turning to it again and again.

This is an anthology of first-person accounts of rural life in Edwardian Britain. Recollections from writers such as Alison Uttley, W.H. Hudson, Flora Thompson, Richard Jeffries and Edward Thomas. There are also accounts from people alive today - Hannah Hauxwell, Lord Denning, Dame Barbara Cartland, A.L. Rowse and Viscount Tonypandy - including ordinary folk, who evoke village life, schooldays, the natural world and other themes of county living. Illustrated with paintings from Edith Holden's "Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady", and Edwardian watercolours and photographs, it is a nostalgic celebration of the golden years of country life up to World War I.
