This lavishly illustrated and authoritative book is a comprehensive study of the South Downs' ecological, cultural, and land-use challenges, published by Packard Publishing. It explores conservation issues at a pivotal moment when the South Downs National Park was under consideration. The book highlights the rolling chalk hills, escarpments, river valleys, sea cliffs, and woodlands that define the South Downs. It emphasizes their biodiversity and cultural resonance, having inspired writers and artists for centuries. The Downs are described as working countryside, shaped by farming and forestry practices. The book examines how these activities both sustain and threaten the landscape. Ref RRR 1.
