Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2014 While few detailed surveys
of fauna or flora exist in England from the period before the
nineteenth century, it is possible to combine the evidence of
historical sources (ranging from game books, diaries,
churchwardens' accounts and even folk songs) and our wider
knowledge of past land use and landscape, with contemporary
analyses made by modern natural scientists, in order to model the
situation at various times and places in the more remote past. This
timely volume encompasses both rural and urban environments from
1650 to the mid-twentieth century, drawing on a wide variety of
social, historical and ecological sources. It examines the impact
of social and economic organisation on the English landscape,
biodiversity, the agricultural revolution, landed estates, the
coming of large-scale industry and the growth of towns and suburbs.
It also develops an original perspective on the complexity and
ambiguity of man/animal relationships in this post-medieval period.
