History
of the Countryside: The Classic History of
Britain's Landscape, Flora and Fauna by Oliver Rackham
From its earliest origins to the present day, Oliver
Rackham describes the endlessly changing character of Britain's
countryside.
Exploring the natural and man-made features of the
land - fields, highways, hedgerows, fens, marshes, rivers, heaths, coasts,
woods and wood pastures - the author describes how the countryside has
developed over the centuries. In doing so, he covers a wealth of related
subjects to provide an 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.
