Was Britain's postwar rebuilding the height of mid-century chic or
the concrete embodiment of crap towns? John Grindrod decided to
find out how blitzed, slum-ridden and crumbling austerity Britain
became, in a few short years, a space-age world of concrete, steel
and glass. What he finds is a story of dazzling space-age optimism,
ingenuity and helipads - so many helipads - tempered by protests,
deadly collapses and scandals that shook the government.
More than any other individual, James Stevenson-Hamilton can be
credited with the creation of the Kruger National Park in South
Affica. In 1902, when the South African War ended,
Stevenson-Hamilton swopped his military career for the more
uncertain calling of a game warden. Under his supervision the
small, neglected and war-ravaged Sabi Game Reserve expanded in
stature and size. By the time he retired in 1946, the Kruger
National Park had become as one of the great national parks of the
world. The evolution of the Kruger National Park was his life's
work but Stevenson-Hamilton kept his many other interests alive.
During the First World War he fought in Gallipoli and Egypt. In
1917 he was seconded to a civilian administrative post in the
southern Sudan where he remained until 1921. During the late 1920s
and 1930s he consolidated the development of the Kruger Park. After
his retirement he remained in South Africa and lived with his wife
and family near White River in the Eastern
Transvaal.;Stevenson-Hamilton's wildlife accomplishments have been
well documented and appreciated, especially in South Africa, but
the rest of his long life has remained obscure. This biography
examines the diversity of his ninety-year lifespan, a task made
possible by his meticulous journal which - like many Victorians -
he maintained almost every day from the age of 13 until just a week
before his death in 1957.

Shortlisted for the James Cropper Wainwright Prize 2022 for Nature
Writing - Highly Commended Winner for the Richard Jefferies Award
2021 for Best Nature Writing 'A rural, working-class writer in an
all too rarefied field, Chester's work is unusual for depicting the
countryside as it is lived on the economic margins.' The Guardian
'An important portrait of connection to the land beyond ownership
or possession.' Raynor Winn 'It's ever so good. Political,
passionate and personal.' Robert Macfarlane 'Evocative and
inspiring...environmental protest, family, motherhood
and...nature.' Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground, Costa
Novel Award Winner 2021 Nature is everything. It is the place I
come from and the place I got to. It is family. Wherever I am, it
is home and away, an escape, a bolt hole, a reason, a place to
fight for, a consolation, and a way home. As a child growing up in
rural England, Guardian Country Diarist Nicola Chester was
inexorably drawn to the natural landscape surrounding her. Walking,
listening and breathing in the nature around her, she followed the
call of the cuckoo, the song of the nightingale and watched as red
kites, fieldfares and skylarks soared through the endless skies
over the chalk hills of the North Wessex Downs: the ancient land of
Greenham Common which she called home. Nicola bears witness to, and
fights against, the stark political and environmental changes
imposed on the land she loves, whilst raising her family to
appreciate nature and to feel like they belong - core parts of who
Nicola is. From protesting the loss of ancient trees to the
rewilding of Greenham Common, to the gibbet on Gallows Down and
living in the shadow of Highclere Castle (made famous in Downton
Abbey), On Gallows Down shows how one woman made sense of her world
- and found her place in it.
