Product Description

Review

"Combining history and geography in an exciting tapestry, this will captivate people of all ages." --The Good Book Guide

"The view from above reveals the unusual, the hidden and the quirky features of the UK... as well as a fresh perspective of things we are familiar with from ground level. Overall a unique, compelling and often surprising journey of how Britain has been transformed over thousands of years." --Outdoor Photography


Product Description

"A wide range of historians, archaeologists, scientists, geologists, amateur sleuths, sportsmen, city planners, transport experts and others have willingly given their time and knowledge to unpick what the rest of us would certainly miss. Time and again, I have been taken aback by how much I simply did not see, however hard I looked." Andrew Marr (excerpt from foreword). "Britain From Above" is the official book accompanying the BBC's landmark television series of the same name airing in 2008 and will be presented by Andrew Marr. The centrepiece of the schedules, "Britain From Above" will air on BBC1, BBC2 and BBC4. The book features exclusive, awe-inspiring photography and satellite images from the programmes as well as computer simulations, charting Britain's natural history, its industry and transport systems, its natural heritage and archaeology. "Britain From Above" promises to capture the country's imagination as never before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely gorgeous!, 11 Aug 2008
By RC (Leicester (UK)) - See all my reviews
  
This is an amazing book - I bought a copy for my Dad as he loves this sort of thing. Stunning photography and excellent for "dipping in and out" whenever you feel like it. I loved the "making of the series" piccies at the back too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! , 2 Sep 2008
By Pat B (London) - See all my reviews
What a great book. I happened to stumble upon the tv show when I was channel flicking last weekend and was totally engrossed. They mentioned the companion book so ordered it online the next day. And I wasn't dissapointed. It's got some amazing photographs and fantastic ariel shots (i wish that my photography was that good!). I really recommend this book...not just something to dip into from time to time but as a great gift to give to someone too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really unique photography, 3 Sep 2008
I bought Britain From Above as a present and what a success! The whole family were enthralled. Amazing and unique photography alongside interesting commentary make this book a real showpiece and a good addition to any coffee table. I think I might have to buy a copy for myself!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book
I bought this on request for a gift for my daughter and she loves it. She watched the tv programme with Andrew Marr and wanted to read further and she has not been disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars industrial pictures
Some of the photos were very good but mostly they were on industrial scenes in the south of England. I was expecting more variety from the whole country.
