Upland
Ed Douglas
Britain's mountains have inspired poets, painters and scientists and they are a cornerstone of our cultural narrative and our national identity. Yet they are also at the forefront of agricultural and climate change policy, in a tug of war between factions seeking preservation and economic development. Touching on their formation and prehistory, this book describes how mountains were transformed through the centuries, the conflicts and reforms that shaped their landscapes and how the industrial revolution made their wide open spaces so important to the wealth of the nation. 'Upland' will tell the story of the kings, monks, travellers, shepherds, poets, engineers, soldiers, explorers, visionaries and campaigners who made Britain's mountains what they are today.
