Description

Whitaker's 2021 contains a comprehensive explanation of every aspect of national and local government infrastructure in the UK, astronomical and tidal data for 2021, guides to UK law, education and taxation, overviews of the water, energy and transport industries, essential calendar information, chapters on royalty and peerage, complete results for each constituency from the last UK General Election and an up-to-date list of MPs, government departments and public bodies, directory listings of trade unions and professional bodies, sports results and records, reviews of the year 2019-20 - covering the arts, science and politics - and monthly summaries of the year's news. Whitaker's is also an excellent introduction to world politics with in-depth profiles of international organisations, the European Union and every country of the world.

A totally unique combination of every aspect of UK infrastructure, current affairs, world politics, history, finance, astronomical data and reviews of the year, 'Whitaker's remains the most comprehensive compendium of information in the English language' (Jon Snow) and will save hours of research and cross-referencing between different sources.



The world-famous, number one almanack resource for facts, figures and statistics relating to the UK and the world returns!

About the Author

Joseph Whitaker published the first edition of his Almanack on 23rd December 1868. Volume one was 370 pages long well received. Published by Whitaker's & Sons until 1997, it was then acquired by The Stationery Office until 2003, and then A & C Black, which later became a subsidiary of Bloomsbury Publishing in 2011. Rebellion Publishing Ltd. acquired Whitaker's in 2020.



Reviews
"Whitaker's is the place for things that everybody needs but nobody publishes - nobody else." -- Matthew Parris
"Settler of argument, provider of spurious historical parallels, goad to the weary hack's mind. I become so engrossed I forget what I was trying to look up in the first place." -- Libby Purves
"A source of delight as well as a gold-mine of information." -- Jonathan Dimbleby

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
