Dieses schon vom Einband her optisch ansprechend gestaltete, mit zahlreichen Abbildungen ausgestattete Buch ist eingeteilt in sechs Abschnitte: From the beginnings to the late fifteenth century; Cambridge under the Tudors, 1485-1603; From the accession of James I to the election of the duke of Newcastle as cancellor, 1603-1748; From the election of the duke of Newcastle to the beginnings of reform, 1748-1840; From the Victorian reforms to the First World War, 1840-1914; Cambridge since the First World War. Sinn und Zweck ist: ``This concise illustrated history of the University of Cambridge, from its thirteenth-century origins to the present day, is the only book of its kind in print and is intended as a standard introduction for anyone interested in one of the world's greatest academic institutions (S.I). Dieses Vorhaben wird auch bis ins Detail ausgeführt, wobei so mancher auflockernde Satz die Lektüre erleichtert, wie z.B.: ``From 1661 to 1696 Newton resided, with only occasional absences, as an object of awe in Trinity (S.95). Schon zu Beginn finden sich viele allgemeine Hinweise auch zur europäischen Kulturgeschichte. Für die Zeitspanne von 1485 bis 1748 wird überzeugend der seinerzeitige politische und konfessionelle Wirrwarr in den Vordergrund gestellt. Die Konsolidierung in der Zeit der Reformen um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts und der Übergang zu Cambridge in seiner heutigen Position stehen in erleichterndem Gegensatz hierzu. Allemeine Erläuterungen, Literaturangaben und ein umfangreiches Register beschließen dieses sehr detailliert aufgebaute Nachschlagewerk.
