Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Allotments are sanctuaries for growing, often on the fringes of suburbia, where life is getting ever more stressful and expensive. Here, a simple urge to grow-your-own or become self-sufficient, brings us closer to a community of people, wildlife and plants that are often more diverse than the cities and towns that surround them. An allotment is a utopia. It is a green place where anyone can occupy a piece of land, and grow with freedom of expression. Allotmenteering started with The Diggers in seventeenth-century Surrey, in response to the Enclosure Acts which deprived ordinary people of access to land. But the idea spread, first across England and the British Isles, then through Europe and the world. 'The Allotment', originally published in 1988, is the classic study of allotments. Encompassing the oral recordings of plot-holders alongside descriptions of regional variations on the plot itself, such as pigeon-fancying, seed collecting or leek competitions, it looks at British society and history through the prism of allotments. With a new introduction by Olivia Laing, this is a story that is just as relevant today, and is essential for those interested in social history, land ownership and gardening in twenty-first century Britain.

Aggiungi al carrelloFIRST EDITION. Half title; sl. toned. Orig. grey cloth; light mark to front board. Pictorial d.w., unclipped; lightly marked & creased. Neat contemp. gift inscription to leading f.e.p. 'My dear Clare, I hope this book spurs you into action and provides you with a role model while you toil! All my love, Jan'. A nice copy. David Crouch is Professor of Cultural Geography, Humanities Department, Arts and Design at the University of Derby. Colin Ward, 1924-2010, wrote extensively on education, architecture and town planning, and has been described as 'one of the greatest anarchist thinkers of the past half century, and a pioneering social historian'. This history of allotments and their regional variations is riveting and thought-provoking. It sets out to question the image of the 'cloth-capped plot-holder' and ends by exploring what it means to have access to the landscape.
