Críticas:

These three volumes... provide a fascinating overview of landscape studies throughout Britain at the beginning of the 21st century.' -- British Archaeology British Archaeology A nicely produced, well illustrated collection of papers... A personal favourite is the paper by Toby Driver, who takes Hoskins instruction to 'get his boots muddy' literally and goes walking around mid-Wales studying Iron Age hillforts from every which way.' -- Northern Earth Northern Earth takes human intervention in the landscape much, much further back than Hoskins Anglo-Saxon making of the landscape... develops the series into a true making of the British landscape.' -- Current Archaeology Current Archaeology The vitality of the discipline is reflected in the many excellent papers here, full of interesting material and ideas, several of which are inspirational.' -- Landscape History Landscape History

Reseña del editor:

As the essays in this book demonstrate, Prehistoric and Romano-British landscape studies have come a long way since Hoskins, whose work reflected the prevailing 'Celtic' ethnological narrative of Britain before the medieval period. The contributors present a stimulating survey of the subject as it is in the early twenty-first century, and provide some sense of a research frontier where new conceptualisations of 'otherness' and new research techniques are transforming our understanding.
