One of the jewels in the nations crown is its Anglican cathedrals. Many; constructed after the invasion of 1066; stand as monuments to the determination and commitment of their Norman builders. Others have been built in later centuries while some started life as parish churches and were subsequently raised to cathedral status. Places of wonder and beauty; they symbolize the Christian life of the nation and are more visited today than ever as places which represent Englands religious creed; heritage and the skills of their builders.

Eight hundred years later came the Victorians who pioneered the Industrial Revolution and created railways. Like their Norman predecessors they built to last and the railway system bequeathed to later generations; has endured in much the same form as when originally constructed. There is little sign that railways will be displaced by other modes of transport; anyway in the foreseeable future;

Combining a study of thirty-three English cathedrals and the railway systems which allow them to be reached; the author seeks to celebrate these two magnificent institutions. In the process he hopes to encourage others to travel the same journeys as he himself has undertaken.

ThanksBy YousefOk1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Reporters knowledgeable impression of the most critical issue of our dayBy Eyad KadriI read this book in hard copy; but decided to acquire it in the electronic version.The book gives a fresh and unbiased look at the most critical political issue of our times. The author deals with all parties equally and objectively.He exposes the political undercurrent agenda concealing it by the all times deviousness of peoples exploitation of religion; which is the easiest way to amass followers through inflamed faith-based emotions of belonging and fear; bypassing logic and rational thinking. Similar to what we see the reaction of the politically motivated religiously under covered Islamic what so called terrorism today; and elements of Christian terrorism.The author analyses the issue from his perspective and brings the reality of another kind of terrorism that impacts the livelihood of people through incriminations and corruption to neutralize any descending voices.
