Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Small bump. No ownership marks. Illustrations. 265 pages clean and tight. This book presents the first single volume comprehensive survey since before 1914 of Portsmouth and its region, an area of considerable importance both nationally and internationally. As well as bringing the history of the city right up to date it incorporates the results of much recent research. Much is revealed about the impact of man on the region's environment from early beginnings and the subsequent patterns of settlement, through the varying uses of land and sea over time as the population grew, to the impact of the expanding conurbation of the twentieth century. Four main themes are considered: the archaeological background from prehistoric times to the industrial archaeology of the modern era; the historical background from the Norman Conquest to the First World War; the natural environment, dealing with the flora and fauna of both land and water; and the development of Portsmouth in this century. The Portsmouth region, apart from the city of Portsmouth, stretches to the river Ems and the border of West Sussex- in the east, northwards to the slopes of Butser Hill, and westwards to the Hamble river. It includes the harbour communities of Gosport and Emsworth, as well as the thriving towns of Fareham, Havant and Hayling Island and a number of other smaller parishes. fascinating portrayal of the Portsmouth region, illustrated with over fifty contemporary and historic photographs, and maps of the area, this book will appeal both to specialist academics and historians and to residents of, and visitors to, the region. Size: 8vo.
