A book of short jottings by an archaeologist from TV's 'Time Team' programme. They are like the sweepings from the floor or odds and ends from the artists sketchbook. Bits and pieces he is either re-using or couldn't fit in anywhere else. Lightweight and interesting enough but it's less than the sum of its parts. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Landscapes reflect and shape our behaviour. They make us who we are and bear witness to the shifting patterns of human life over the generations. Formed by a complex series of natural and human processes, they rarely yield their secrets readily. Bringing to bear a lifetime's digging, Francis Pryor delves into England's hidden urban and rural landscapes, from Whitby Abbey to the navvy camp at Risehill in Cumbria, from Tintagel to Tottenham's Broadwater Farm. Scattered through fields, woods, moors, roads, tracks and towns, he reveals the stories of our physical surroundings and what they meant to the people who formed them, used them and lived in them. These landscapes, he stresses, are our common physical inheritance. If we can understand how to make them yield up their secrets, it will help us, their guardians, to maintain and shape them for future generations. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
