About This Item
Michael Joseph Ltd, London - first edition ISBN:0718123069 1983 Hardcover, 9½" x 11¾", with dust jacket Packed book weighs 2 kgs (4½lbs). VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Fourteen full-colour aerial photographs, dozens of large b&w reproductions, appendix, and index. This is a fascinating and superbly produced book which presents the history of Britain as it can be viewed, discovered and appraised from unfamiliar vantage points - views which previously only the airman has been able to enjoy. Air photography reveals the ravishing beauty of the British countryside in vast panoramas, but it has become a vital tool in archeaelogical and landscape history research. Many buried features are plainly displayed in the aerial view; and strongholds of lost prehistoric and medieval settlements are revealed.
