Product Description
This book is an essential reference tool for anyone with a serious interest in Britain and Ireland's historic landscapes. It contains over 1200 entries providing explanations of the major terms, features and ideas discussed in landscape history and archaeology. Short entries describe less familiar terms, such as copyhold tenure, and longer articles discuss the subject's big themes, concepts and approaches, such as ancient countryside and aerial archaeology. The entries are cross-referenced and also contain up-to-date guides to further reading. The book aims to inspire the reader to explore and record the cultural landscapes of his or her own patch - a heritage that is disappearing fast.
