In the whole of the UK there are only three hot springs - they rise up in the centre of the World Heritage Site of Bath, UK, and they are the reason for the City's existence. The book is a celebration of that fact - charting the story of the springs, the spa and the City chronologically from pre-Celtic to the present day, and tying in with the £23 million Thermae Bath Spa, which opened in 2006. HOT BATH - The Story of the Spa, by Giles White - includes stunning new photography by Nick Smith and more than 60 historical prints, photographs and illustrations in full colour throughout.
