Description: Most places in
Britain have had a local history written about them. Up until this century
these histories have addressed more parochial issues, such as the life of the
manor, rather than explaining the features and changes in the landscape in a
factual manner.
Much of what is
visible today in Britain's landscape is the result of a chain of social and
natural processes, and can be interpreted through fieldwork as well as from old
maps and documents.
Michael Aston
uses a wide range of source material to study the complex and dynamic history
of the countryside, illustrating his points with aerial photographs, maps,
plans and charts. He shows how to understand the surviving remains as well as
offering his own explanations for how our landscape has evolved.
