Synopsis

As concern for the countryside becomes ever more serious, and agencies are faced with conflicting objectives, this book focuses on the problems of the cultural landscape as it exists in its environmental setting. It highlights specific concerns from different perspectives - that of the archaeologist, the geographer, the countryside planner, the landowner and the farmer - examining the efforts these differing bodies are making to understand the environment and illustrating the ways in which each can enrich the other's understanding and management of the landscape.
