Journalist Robin Page is an enthusiastic conservationist, and each summer he has journeyed through the British Isles from Aldeburgh to Milford Haven, from Tolpuddle to Lerwick, recording what he saw, heard and felt. The result is a remarkable record of the extraordinary people and wild creatures that make up the rural scene. He shows that Britain can still offer a wealth of natural splendour, but warns that we must also be aware of the continuing pressures on our last wild places from development, mining, pollution and people.--Back Cover
