An epic April 9, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book really does cover the landscape, it is a fantastic story from cover to cover with so many examples that you really do get a feel for how things developed. I read it in just a couple fo days and regularly dip back into it. Oliver has written a number of good and readable books and this really must rate alongside Hoskins for any budding landscape historian.
Rackham Does It Again! June 30, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Rackham, a senior fellow at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, outdoes himself with this stunning exposition of the English countryside. He displays a grasp of his material both wide and deep, saturated with intuitive understanding and ecological consciousness. Rackham really outdoes himself with this one! Highly recommended. The treatment of Essex marshland represents a particular contribution to the literautre.
