Description
Oliver Rackham's comprehensive history of Britain's countryside spans from its earliest origins to the present day, revealing the complex and dynamic relationship between the land and its inhabitants.
Through a detailed exploration of the natural and man-made features of the countryside, Rackham shows how fields, highways, hedgerows, fens, marshes, rivers, heaths, coasts, woods and wood pastures have evolved over the centuries, shaped by a range of factors including climate, soils, fauna, flora, and human activity.
This authoritative account provides a fascinating insight into the sometimes subtle and sometimes radical ways in which these factors have interacted, resulting in the diverse and ever-changing character of Britain's countryside.
