[ED: Hardcover], [PU: BLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC US], Fact: the English landscape has changed more radically in the twentieth century than it has over the previous thousand years. This can be seen everywhere, nowhere in this small cramped island has been untouched by the human hand. In this eye-opening book, Trevor Rowley shows vividly what has changed and why. He uses landscape in its broadest sense, covering not just the countryside, but the bricks and mortar of where we live.
By the millennium, the countryside had become a dormitory or holiday destination, not the bread-basket of the country, with agriculture employing less than one per cent of the population by 2000. By contrast, cities and towns, particularly London, have expanded massively. Life, and the landscape, has been ruled by the car. Regional identities are disappearing fast as creeping corporate chains and uniform building styles are found from Penzance to Carlisle. Uplands and country houses are theme parks often overrun by visitors. Two world wars and changing patterns of work and leisure have also left their imprint. The English Landscape in the Twentieth Century is a striking and readable survey of a subject that matters to everyone. It isn't a sentimental call for a return to some bucolic idyll that never existed, rather a statement of where we are now.

Hambledon Continuum, Hambledon Continuum. 2006, xv,472pp, Illustrated. Cloth. With dustjacket. In very good condition. The English landscape changed more radically in the twentieth century than it had over the previous thousand years. This can be seen everywhere, nowhere in England being untouched by human influence. In this eye-opening book, Trevor Rowley shows vividly what changed and why. By the millenium, the countryside had become a dormitory or holiday destination, and agriculture employed less than one per cent of the population by 2000. In contrast, cities and towns, dominated by the megalopolis of London, expanded massively. Life, and the landscape, became ruled by the car. Regional identities disappeared as national chains and uniform building styles began to be found from Penzance to Carlisle. Uplands and county houses became theme parks often overrun by visitors. Two world wars and changing patterns of work and leisure also left their imprint. The English Landscape in the Twentierth Century is a striking and readable survey of a subject that matters to everyone. ISBN: 9781852853884, Hambledon Continuum, Hambledon Continuum, 0<
