William Faden and Norfolk's Eighteenth Century Landscape
Author: Andrew Macnair
Publisher: Windgather Press
ISBN: 1905119852
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
William Faden's map of Norfolk, published in 1797, was one of a large number of surveys of English counties produced in the second half of the eighteenth century. This book, with accompanying DVD, presents a new digital version of the map, and explains how this can be interrogated to produce a wealth of new historical information. It discusses the making of the Norfolk map, and Faden's own career, within the wider context of the eighteenth-century "cartographic revolution". It explores what the map, and others like it, can tell us about contemporary social and economic geography. But it also shows how, carefully examined, the map can also inform us about the development of the Norfolk landscape in much more remote periods of time. The book includes a digital version of the map, on DVD. Andrew Macnair is Research Fellow at the School of History in the University of East Anglia; Tom Williamson is Professor of History and Head of the Landscape Group at the University of East Anglia.

Book Description
"This sumptuous volume presents Regency design in all its splendor and detail. Though occurring at a time of intellectual ferment and political turbulence in Britain from 1790 to 1840, Regency style was distinctly graceful, decorous, and elegant. Masterpieces of the period include the majestic silhouette and resplendent interiors of Windsor Castle, the exotic glories of the Royal Pavilion at Brighton, and the sylvan landscapes and palaces of Regent's Park."--

Climate: Present, Past and Future (Routledge Revivals)
Author: H. H. Lamb
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136639691
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 879
Book Description
First published in 1977, the second volume of Climate: Present, Past and Future covers parts 3 and 4 of Professor Hubert Lamb’s seminal and pioneering study of climatology. Part 3 provides a survey of evidence of types of climates over the last million years, and of methods of dating that evidence. Through the earlier stages of the Earth’s development the book traces what is known of the various geographies presented by the drifting continents and indicates what can be learnt about climatic regimes and the causes of climatic change. From the last ice age to the present our knowledge of the succession of climates is summarized, indicating prevailing temperatures, rainfalls, wind and ocean current patterns where possible. Part 4 considers events during the fifteen years prior to the book’s initial publication, leading on to the problems of estimating the most probable future course of climatic development, and the influence of Man’s activities on climate. Alongside the reissue of volume 1, this Routledge Revival will be essential reading for anyone interested in both the causes and workings of climate and in the history of climatology itself.
