Britannia Obscura by Joanne Parker
Condition: Very Good
Paperback
The outline of the British Isles is instantly recognisable. But jostling within that familiar profile are countless vying maps of the country.
Some of these maps are founded on rock, or on the natural features of the land. Far more are built on dreams - on human activity, effort, and aspiration. From investigations of caves and megaliths to canals and airspace, Joanne Parker reveals a country with countless competing centres and ceaselessly shifting borders - a land where one persons sleepy, unexceptional province will always be the busy heart of anothers map.
Britannia Obscura opens our eyes to the infinitely layered, rich and surprising landscape of Britain.
