Description
The British landscape has undergone a profound transformation over the past 12,000 years, shaped by the interactions between people and their environment. From a European peninsula of glacier and tundra to an island of cities and countryside, this book tells the story of Britain's ever-changing relationship with its land.
Through a geographical journey through time, Nicholas Crane explores the ancient connections between people and place, as well as the deep-rooted tensions between town and countryside. The book delves into the impact of natural disasters, such as tsunamis, and human activities, like Roman settlement, on the British landscape. As Britain moves towards a more sustainable future, this book offers a timely perspective on the story of our age.
