WALKING THE BONES OF BRITAIN (PB)

On a journey of a thousand miles, Christopher Somerville, walking correspondent of The Times, interrogates the land beneath our feet and discovers how it has affected every aspect of human history from farming to house construction, the Industrial Revolution to climate breakdown. This is the story of Britain's geology, from the three-billion-year-old rocks of the Isle of Lewis, across bogs, over peaks and past quarry pits to the furthest corner of Essex where new land is being formed by nature and man.
