Synopsis

If you would like to know more about the huge contribution this small nation of Wales has made to the world, then this is the book for you. For example, did you know that Wales: boasted the most advanced laws in the Middle Ages; produced Britain s only effective royal dynasty and its most effective prime minister; produced a man probably more responsible than Charles Darwin for developing the theory of evolution; and a woman at least as responsible as Florence Nightingale for developing the nursing profession. Wales was a world leader during the early Industrial Revolution; the world s first industrial town was located in Wales; and the world s first steam train ran here too. Many more facts about Wales are to be found within the covers of this book.
