Description
Kinder Scout: The People's Mountain by Ed Douglas is a unique collaboration that explores the social, political, cultural and ecological developments that have shaped the physical and human landscape of this enigmatic hill. Written by close friends Ed Douglas and photographer John Beatty, who share a decades-long history with Kinder Scout, the book reveals the story behind Britain's most popular mountain. The mountain, situated at the base of the Pennines, has been home to millions of feet and centuries of farming, bearing witness to a movement of feet in 1932 that helped shape modern access legislation. This beloved hill is also a record of our social and political history, of conflict and community. Through their shared experiences and knowledge, Douglas and Beatty celebrate the northern English mountain and our role in its creation. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the human landscape of Kinder Scout, from the passage of time to the impact of human activity on the environment. With its unique blend of photography and narrative, Kinder Scout: The People's Mountain is a captivating exploration of this treasured hill and its place in our collective history.
