The Historic Landscape of Devon A Study in Change and Continuity Lucy Ryder (Author) Somerset’s Peatland Archaeology Managing and Investigating a Fragile Resource Richard Brunning (Author) This book discusses the 19th–century historic landscape of Devon though the creation, manipulation and querying of a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) database to examine physical evidence of change and development through field and settlement patterns. Making use of tithe surveys, the relationship between field and settlement morphologies and patterns of landholding is discussed for three casestudy areas in Devon, developing the idea of landscape pays and the identification of regional differences in the study of the historic landscape. 9781905119387, £38.00, April 2013 PB, 256p, col illus, Windgather Press Rousseau’s Elysium. Ermenonville Revisited Gerard J. Van den Broek (Author) Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) is generally seen as one of the most important figures whose ideas had a great influence on the French Revolution (1789). Many immediately associate him with the concept of “the noble savage.” However, just as with his political and philosophical writings, his love for botany and scenery would change the landscape of continental Europe, if not the world. This book presents a unique view of the young Rousseau’s awakening love for plants, and his sometimes euphoric appreciation of the scenery during his endless walks 9789088900907, £24.00, 31 December 2012 PB, 104p, 40b/w, 2 col figures, 21 x 21cm, Sidestone Press The Somerset Levels and Moors are part of a series of coastal floodplains that fringe both sides of the Severn Estuary. These areas have similar Holocene environmental histories and contain a wealth of waterlogged archaeological landscapes and discrete monuments. This substantial monograph presents the results of the MARISP project ( Monuments at Risk in Somerset Peatlands) which thoroughly assessed the condition of the wetland monuments and the ongoing threats to their survival and aimed to answer key research questions about the sites through the use of minimally invasive excavation and to inform the development of future wetland strategies. 9781842174883, £40.00, May 2013 HB, 352p, b/w & colour illus, Oxbow Books De Nederlandse Landschapsstijl in de Achttiende Eeuw Heimerick Tromp (Author) This richly illustrated book deals with Dutch landscape and garden architecture in the 18th century. After exploring the developments in adjacent countries, the Dutch developments are described using famous manorial estates like Biljoen en Beekhuizen, Het Loo en Elswout as well as some lesser known sites. The research has a strong focus on the owners of these estates since knowledge on their background, education and interests can support the interpretation of the revolutionary changes that took place in garden design.
