More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The landscape of the British Isles is one of the most diverse in the world. Within these islands there is everything from wild mountains, coasts and moorlands to gentle farmland, forests and meandering rivers. Imprinted over this diversity is a rich history, visible as much in the buildings as in the shape of the landscape itself. From prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge to the vast modern motorways which sweep across the land, Britain is marked indelibly by the works of man. In this book Jason Hawkes has spent the last year covering Britain by helicopter taking photographs of oblique and unfamiliar approaches to famous landmarks and buildings and sweeping long views which capture the character of specific regions.

I have bought this book more than once as a parting gift for foreign students and au pairs who have stayed in this country. It is beautifully photographed and gives a a wonderful perspective on the beauty and diversity of this country. Many of the shots are of familiar landmarks but with the added twist of being taken from the air. Others are of places I've never been to or heard of but now want to visit. Every time I buy a copy of this book I want to keep it for myself!

Recently whilst on holiday in Kolkata I needed the services of a doctor for a respatory problem,A doctor came to our hotel(Taj Bengal)He was like the old fashioned doctors we once had in the UK. He listened to what I had to say, he examaned me, then went back to his practice to collect some tablets which he had precribed, He then told me that he had spent some time on holiday in the UK with his daughter who worked in Cambridge,
I thought that he would like to see more of the UK but this time from the air.

Enjoyable book, but the VIDEO is BETTER
20 April 2002
Format:Hardcover
... alas, I haven't been able to locate the video. It was shown on PBS stations and some may yet make it available, but I haven't had any luck locally.
Any clues, Amazonians?
It is a fun book, and the picture it gives you of historical patterns of migration and community development are much clearer from the air.
