The British landscape is changing for ever - and faster than ever. This book analyses the causes and consequences, and what can be done to make our cities, towns and countryside better places. British landscapes - from the tip of Scotland to the toe of Cornwall, including the cities - are under huge pressure from shifting population and increasing travel, climate change, new patterns or work and leisure, and changing farming practices. Many fear that these changes can only damage the landscape, but this is not the whole story. For example, the 'edgelands' around big cities have blossoming wildlife and are home to endangered species. And the current crisis in farming gives a chance to do things better in the arable lowlands as well as in the livestock uplands. Twelve expert contributors, including Simon Jenkins, Crispin Tickell, Marion Shoard, David Cannadine and Philip Lowe, develop exciting ideas covering such issues as the urban landscape, climate change, the aftermath of foot-and-mouth, ecology and sustainable development. Bryn Green and Oliver Rackham discuss the future of the countryside where farming is in retreat: will it be preserved as an ersatz museum, will low-density building proliferate or will the land revert to scrub and then to woodland. Other contributors include; David Banister, David Cannadine, John I Clarke, Bryn Green, Ian Hodge, James Hunter, Simon Jenkins, Richard Keen, Uwe Latacz-Lohmann, Philip Lowe, Oliver Rackham, Marion Shoard and Crispin Tickell.

Whatever else', John Hubbard says, 'this is not another artist's monograph. I've already had a good deal written about my work in reviews, prefaces to exhibition catalogues, or as journalism. So, from what seem to me the most interesting, I have selected excerpts that relate to work either mentioned or illustrated in the text which I have prepared from entries in the diary which I have kept since 1967. I regard this book as an opportunity to interpret various events in my life in my own way; its purpose being to build a sense of intimacy which also has a flexible, entertaining structure. If it provides a brief facsimile profile of my painting and drawing, it will stand as a retrospective exhibition in itself.' In a long and productive life, John Hubbard met and got to know a wide circle of other artists and creative people. The notes from his diaries make fascinating reading.

Why do we preserve certain landscapes while developing others without restraint? Drew A. Swanson’s in-depth look at Wormsloe plantation, located on the salt marshes outside of Savannah, Georgia, explores that question while revealing the broad historical forces that have shaped the lowcountry South. Wormsloe is one of the most historic and ecologically significant stretches of the Georgia coast. It has remained in the hands of one family from 1736, when Georgia’s Trustees granted it to Noble Jones, through the 1970s, when much of Wormsloe was ceded to Georgia for the creation of a state historic site. It has served as a guard post against aggression from Spanish Florida; a node in an emerging cotton economy connected to far-flung places like Lancashire and India; a retreat for pleasure and leisure; and a carefully maintained historic site and green space. Like many lowcountry places, Wormsloe is inextricably tied to regional, national, and global environments and is the product of transatlantic exchanges. Swanson argues that while visitors to Wormsloe value what they perceive to be an “authentic,” undisturbed place, this landscape is actually the product of aggressive management over generations. He also finds that Wormsloe is an ideal place to get at hidden stories, such as African American environmental and agricultural knowledge, conceptions of health and disease, the relationship between manual labor and views of nature, and the ties between historic preservation and natural resource conservation. Remaking Wormsloe Plantation connects this distinct Georgia place to the broader world, adding depth and nuance to the understanding of our own conceptions of nature and history.

Changing Landscapes of Singapore illuminates both the social and the physical terrains of modern Singapore. Geographers use the term landscape to refer to visible surfaces and to the spatial dimension of social relations. Landscapes arise from particular historical circumstances, and in turn help shape social arrangements and possible courses of future development. The authors describe how the settings inhabited by various social groups in Singapore affect life experiences, and explore the impact of broader regional and international forces on Singapore. Written for non-specialists, the volume reflects fresh perspectives from the scholarship of Singaporean academics. Their work is sensitive to historical and geographical trends in the region, and also engages with broader theoretical themes.

"Remember, the only landscape that is never finished is the one that is never worked on."Can a man remake his life through remaking a landscape?This is the premise and promise of The Art of Raising Stones: A Fable on (Re)Designing A Life. It follows the course of the Under Assistant, a man in mid-life lacking a sense of where he is or what he is doing. He is apprenticed to a Master Stoneraiser who has been contracted to remake a landscape. What the Under Assistant finds, over time, is that he has really been apprenticed to remake his own life. Through a discussion of basic concepts of a classical landscape - purpose, design, maintenance and time - and the parts used to build a landscape - water, wood, earth and stone - the Under Assistant comes to understand that the basic concepts used to build a landscapes are the same ones used to build a life and that like the landscape he is working on to remake, he has the ability to remake his life. Couched in a series of conversations between Master Stoneraiser and Under Assistant and the learning that comes from a dialogue, The Art of Raising Stones is designed for those who are seeking to read and discover a way to redesign their own lives presented not as a how-to manual but as a story.
