Booth's team of social investigators interviewed Londoners from all walks of life, recording their comments, together with their own unrestrained remarks and statistical information, in 450 notebooks. Their findings formed the basis of Booth's colour-coded social mapping (from vicious and semi-criminal to wealthy) and his seventeen-volume survey Inquiry into the Life and Labour of the People of London, 1886-1903.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganized into six geographical sections, \u003ci\u003eCharles Booth's London Poverty Maps\u003c\/i\u003e presents the hand-colored preparatory and printed social mapping of London. Accompanying the maps are reproductions of pages from the original notebooks, containing anecdotes and observations too judgmental for Booth to include in his final published survey. An introduction by professor Mary S. Morgan clarifies the aims and methodology of Booth's survey and six themed essays contextualize the the survey's findings, accompanied by evocative period photographs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProviding insights into the minutia of everyday life viewed through the lens of inhabitants of every trade, class, creed, and nationality, \u003ci\u003eCharles Booth's London Poverty Maps\u003c\/i\u003e brings to life the diversity and dynamism of late nineteenth-century London.","brand":"CMYK Book Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46579452641470,"sku":"9780500022290","price":6379.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9106\/1950\/files\/9780500022290_22f9697a-e3e5-494f-a66d-95e0c3dd1ad4.jpg?v=1775806047","url":"https:\/\/cmykbookstore.com\/products\/cmyk_9780500022290","provider":"CMYK Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
