"'On the Downs in Wiltshire we can stand on a minute plot of ground on which the iron Age farmer reaped his corn with a sickle", the About Britain volume explained, "and watch a few yards away a combine harvester steadily devouring ripe acres of wheat". Perched on a rock at the end of the final journey, it seemed that so much had changed...Ways of imagining the world just as much as infrastructure in something as seemingly short and fleeting as the course of a human lifespan.' Tim Cole's About Britain is an enchanting journey through Britain's past and present, glimpsed from behind the steering wheel. Book jacket.
