Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A timely reminded of how much our countryside has endured over the past 200 years, from windfarms, mass trespasses, the rise of the rambler, the creation of English vineyards and the return of the Red Kite, and how it constantly manages to adapt to everything we throw at it.

Publisher's description:

Covers events from the spread of the railways and flight to the cities, in the early nineteenth century, through to the floods and global warming on the 21st century in the British countryside. This collection shows how the British countryside adapts to what we throw at it, yet still remains our most valuable and beautiful resource.
