From its earliest origins to the present day, this award-winning, beautifully written book describes the endlessly changing character of Britain's countryside.
'A classic' Richard Mabey
Exploring the natural and man-made features of the land - fields, highways, hedgerows, fens, marshes, rivers, heaths, coasts, woods and wood pastures - he shows conclusively and unforgettably how they have developed over the centuries. In doing so, he covers a wealth of related subjects to provide a fascinating account of the sometimes subtle and sometimes radical ways in which people, fauna, flora, climate, soils and other physical conditions have played their part in the shaping of the countryside.
'One thing is certain: no one would be wise to write further on our natural history, or to make films about it, without thinking very hard about what is contained in these authoritative pages' COUNTRY LIFE

Condición: Muy bueno. : Desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad, este galardonado libro describe el carácter infinitamente cambiante del campo británico. Explorando los elementos naturales y artificiales de la tierra (campos, carreteras, setos, pantanos, ríos, brezales, costas, bosques y pastos arbolados), muestra de forma concluyente e inolvidable cómo se han desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos. Al hacerlo, abarca una gran cantidad de temas relacionados para proporcionar un relato fascinante de las formas a veces sutiles y a veces radicales en que las personas, la fauna, la flora, el clima, los suelos y otras condiciones físicas han desempeñado su papel en la configuración del campo.
