[audiobook] Draw 50 Endangered Animals: The Step-by-Step Way to Draw Humpback Whales; Giant Pandas; Gorillas; and More Friends We May Lose... by Lee J. Ames; Warren Budd in Arts-Photography

Description

Landscape and History explores a complex relationship over the past five centuries. The book is international and interdisciplinary in scope; drawing on material from social; economic and cultural history as well as from geography; archaeology; cultural geography; planning and landscape history.In recent years; as the author points out; there has been increasing interest in; and concern for; many aspects of landscape within British; European and wider contexts. This has included the study of the history; development and changes in our perception of landscape; as well as research into the links between past landscapes and political ideologies; economic and social structures; cartography; art and literature.There is also considerable concern at present with the need to evaluate and classify historic landscapes; and to develop policies for their conservation and management in relation to their scenic; heritage and recreational value. This is manifest not only in the designation of particularly valued areas with enhanced protection from planning developments; such as national parks and world heritage sites; but in the countryside more generally. Further; Ian D. Whyte argues; changes in European Union policies relating to agriculture; with a greater concern for the protection and sustainable management of rural landscapes; are likely to be of major importance in relation to the themes of continuity and change in the landscapes of Britain and Europe.
