Blending geography and history, this book reveals how natural forces and human activity have shaped the island from Ice Age origins to today’s dynamic cities and countryside, providing a fresh perspective on Britain’s past and future. ## Description How much do we really know about the place we call 'home'? In this sweeping, timely book, Nicholas Crane tells the story of Britain. Over the course of 12,000 years of continuous human occupation, the British landscape has been transformed form a European peninsula of glacier and tundra to an island of glittering cities and exquisite countryside. In this geographical journey through time, we discover the ancient relationship between people and place and the deep-rooted tensions between town and countryside. From tsunamis to Roman debacles, from henge to high-rise and hamlet to metropolis, this is a book about change and adaptation. As Britain lurches towards a more sustainable future, it is the story of our age. Review: Making Made Magic - This book takes you on a wonderful, lyrical journey through the physical history of the islands of Britain, starting as they came out of the last Ice Age and taking us right through to the building of the Shard. Nicholas Crane is very positive in his notion that he set out to provide 'a clean story' and not a reference book. He also states that to care about a place you must first know its story. He succeeds brilliantly in giving us a clean story about 'the place' of Britain. I do not want to delve too deeply into the story he tells, but in twenty-two chapters he covers almost every aspect of that story in intriguing detail. Every one of his chapters is memorable and exciting because his background research has been so comprehensive that he is able to show us new information about places and things we thought we already knew about. Other reviewers have complained bitterly about the lack of maps, but read the book as a story and you will not need them because his excellent bibliography provides all the subsidiary information you could desire. In fact by following up the access to modern studies he provides, you could become an expert in the making of our beloved place of Britain. Any intelligent adult or older child with a sense of curiosity would be thrilled to receive this book as a Christmas present. Review: A well researched combination of British history and geography. - I really enjoyed reading the kindle edition of this book. Combines UK geography with history and is very readable. Puts the history of the UK in context. I am of the generation when history was taught badly in school and this book deals with the history of the British landscape in a very interesting way. The book is thorough and detailed and is obviously well researched by Mr Crane. The kindle edition seems to mix up some of the paragraphs out of synch which is disappointing but don’t let this put you off. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 284,856 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 404 in Social Science Human Geography | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 392 Reviews | ## Images ![The Making Of The British Landscape: From the Ice Age to the Present - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oGnaaA+gL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Making Made Magic *by P***R on 8 December 2016* This book takes you on a wonderful, lyrical journey through the physical history of the islands of Britain, starting as they came out of the last Ice Age and taking us right through to the building of the Shard.
