Sinopsis
Although mostly concealed, our bedrock geology profoundly determines what we see around us - not just our landforms, but the built environment too, from Aberdeen, often called the "granite city" to Bath, constructed from honey-coloured limestone- rocks shape the world around us. In Cornerstones, some of Britain's leading landscape and nature writers consider their relationship with the ground beneath their feet. Distinguished by a strong sense of place and close observation, these essays take the reader out into the landscape and convey the tactile heft, grain and rub of the rock, showing how it shapes our familiar landscapes. Adapted from the successful BBC Radio Three series, Cornerstones explores how different rock types give rise to their own distinct flora and fauna, and even affect the food we eat.

Acerca del autor
Mark Smalley lives on a ridge in Bristol complete with subsidence, and was brought up on claggy London clays and beautiful warm Northamptonshire ironstone. He's been a BBC radio producer for over 20 years when some of the best fun has been had recording programmes outdoors in the landscape, hunkered down in the lee of a wall, trying to convey why place matters so much to people. Perhaps a folk memory, but doing geography and a little geology at school somehow only became real when first encountering glaciated valleys in the flesh, in the Lake District. His previous books were educational ones about Europe.
