"A Land", she hopes, can "be accepted as one of the heralds of that spirit of universal inter-relatedness that now inspires ecological thinking and action," She had written it to express her own intense awareness of continuity in both time and space. In some ways this originality had been a handicap: "it was not a work of science, of scholarship, of opinion or of fiction, but a curious blend of them all." Beyond dispute it had been an unexpected best-seller and many readers found that "their vision of the world had been changed, made happier" by the book. In many ways, "A Land" is as timeless as the subject with which it deals. It continues to widen people's horizons, and no budding archaeologist or geographer, or indeed anyone who takes stock of his place in the universe, should be without it. It is a book David & Charles are proud to bring into their list.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the new David & Charles edition, in its original dustwrapper, in very nice bright near fine condition. A classic work on ecology of the land. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Codice articolo 8895
