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.

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.

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.

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.
