Then, over the course of a single car journey, the features of our green and pleasant land reawakened a fascination with geology that he had long forgotten, and he began to delve beneath the surface (metaphorically, that is). From the rocks of north-west Scotland which are amongst the oldest on the planet to St Michael's Mount off the coast of Cornwall, which was still being shaped in human memory, The Lie of the Land takes us on a journey through a fantastically exotic Britain of red desert sands, shattering continental collisions and tides of volcanic lava. Ian Vince shows us how Britain came to look the way it does; and with warmth and wit transports us back through billions of years to a land that time forgot.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 127mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 336gAuthor: Ian VinceGenre: HistoryIntended Audience: 18 years and upType: EducationTopic: Home Garden & PetsRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
