4.9/5 (16113 ratings)

Description:However concealed it may be, Britain’s bedrock geology profoundly determines what we see around us – not just landforms but also our built environment. From Aberdeen, nicknamed “the granite city” to Bath, constructed from warm, honey-coloured limestone, rocks shape our world.In Cornerstones , some of Britain’s leading landscape and nature writers consider the depth of their relationships with the ground beneath their feet. Distinguished by a strong sense of place and characterised by close observation, these essays take the reader out into the landscape and convey the tactile heft, grain and rub of the rock, showing how it shapes our landscapes.Adapted from the successful BBC Radio Three series, Cornerstones explores how different rock types give rise to their own distinct flora and fauna, and even affect our food. Some of the contributors express awe at the abyss of time that is locked into the lie of the land – like Sara Maitland grasping the extraordinary journey through time and space taken by Lewisian gneiss, while Alan Garner captures the way in which flint has enabled and accompanied human evolution, from the earliest times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
