Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and practice of land reclamation from the sea in the British Isles. The author provides a comprehensive guide to the challenges and techniques involved in this complex undertaking. From the materials and construction methods used to create sea banks to the drainage and cultivation of embanked land, the author covers every aspect of this fascinating and important subject. With its origins in ancient times, land reclamation has played a vital role in shaping the landscape of Britain. The author traces the development of this practice from the early efforts of landowners and communities to protect their property from flooding to the large-scale engineering projects of the present day. Along the way, the author highlights the challenges faced by those who have attempted to reclaim land from the sea, such as the destructive power of storms and the constant threat of erosion. Drawing on examples from across the British Isles, the author provides a rich and detailed account of the techniques used to reclaim land from the sea. These techniques include the construction of sea walls, groynes, and breakwaters to protect the land from erosion, as well as the use of drainage systems to remove excess water from the embanked land. The author also discusses the challenges of cultivating reclaimed land, such as the high salt content of the soil and the need to improve its fertility. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of land reclamation from the sea. It provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and techniques involved in this complex undertaking, and it sheds light on the important role that land reclamation has played in shaping the landscape of Britain.
