Book description:
The countryside of the British Isles has a distinctive splendour all of its own. In few other countries are areas of natural beauty so easily accessible; in no others of comparable size are the scenic contrasts so dramatic. It is this unmatched natural heritage, and the pleasure and satisfaction it affords, which is celebrated in this superb work. To produce this book The Sunday Times has brought together a team of internationally acclaimed academics, writers, artists and photographers. The first chapter begins with the making of the countryside and shows how the natural landscape had been formed and shaped. It also demonstrates the part played by man since prehistoric times in modelling the landscape to suit his purpose. There are separate chapters on wildlife, the sea coast, gardens, weather and climate and on the wide variety of recreational and leisure opportunities the countryside offers. Other chapters cover the countryside as a place in which to work and live - exploring new farming landscapes, old pubs, incomparable churches and the rural crafts and skills which are the countryman's inheritance. The future of a countryside which has been subject to rapid change, and upon which the pressures are still formidable, is also examined. The Sunday Times Book of the Countryside is filled with magnificent illustrations and photographs in black and white, and colour. |
