ENGLAND: A NATURAL HISTORY (HB)

England's countryside contains distinctive habitats that unite to create a landscape which is unique for its rich diversity of flora and fauna. In lyrical prose, John Lewis-Stempel explores each aspect in turn, taking us from coast to moor, from downs to field, from the park to the village to create a vivid living portrait of England's natural history. Each landscape - be it calm green or wild moor, plunging cliff or flatland fen - has shaped notions of what it is to be in England.
