Book excerpt: Written with fell walkers and other countryside enthusiasts in mind this thoroughly engaging and absorbing book shows that there is much more to the Lake District than simply 'stanes and watter'. Have you ever wondered why Scafell is different from Skiddaw, or why the east side of Helvellyn is different from the west side, or why Ullswater is different from Windermere, or why the summit of Helm Crag is, well, a bit craggy? If so, this book will provide some answers, together with a deeper understanding of how the fell country acquired its special characteristics. The physical landscape of the Lake District acts like a giant magnet, attracting several million visitors every year to the fell country. From John Constable to Alfred Wainwright, via William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, the Lake District has inspired visitors and residents alike. Although often romanticised in words and pictures as static and enduring, the mountains of the Lake District are dynamic elements of nature undergoing constant change. Media interest in climate change, storms, floods and landslides has done much to increase the public's perception of a 'dynamic' rather than a 'static' physical landscape.

Download or read book Landscapes and Landforms of England and Wales written by Andrew Goudie and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the geomorphological diversity of England and Wales. These regions are characterised by an extraordinary range of landforms and landscapes, reflecting both the occurrence of many different rock types and drastic climatic changes over the last few million years, including ice sheet expansion and decay. The book begins by providing the geological and geomorphological context needed in order to understand this diversity in a relatively small area. In turn, it presents nearly thirty case studies on specific landscapes and landforms, all of which are landmarks in the territory discussed. These include the famous coastal cliffs and landslides, granite tors of Dartmoor, formerly glaciated mountains of Snowdonia and the Lake District, karst of Yorkshire, and many others. The geomorphology of London and the Thames is also included. Providing a unique reference guide to the geomorphology of England and Wales, the book is lavishly illustrated with diagrams, colour maps and photos, and written in an easy-to-read style. The contributing authors are distinguished geomorphologists with extensive experience in research, writing and communicating science to the public. The book will not only be of interest to geoscientists, but will also benefit specialists in landscape research, geoconservation, tourism and environmental protection.

If my gratitude to my coadjutors causes me to overrate the product of our labours, I shall not at least be mistaken in saying that we have all done our best to set forth a true presentment of the land we love, in the hope of inducing and enabling those who live in town or plain to know and love it as we do. If any think that we have painted it too fair, and that we love it fanatically, let them come and see. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lake District History So to get into our circumference all we have to survey, let us shift the centre to Easedale Tarn. Then we take in what geology has marked out as true Lake district, still at the present day more or less rural, and ringed about with a group of towns or townlets Penrith, Shap, Kendal, Ulverston, Barrow, Dalton, Millom, Egremont, Whitehaven, Cockermouth - all of which lie outside the charmed circle. The geology and natural history we leave to specialists, the topo graphy to the guide-books, and every reader is sure to have a map.

Download or read book The Geology of the Lake District and the Scenery as Influenced by Geological Structure written by John Edward Marr and published by . This book was released on 1916 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the days of Jonathan Otley and of Sedgwick the Lake District has attracted much attention from geologists, largely on account of the variety and difficulty of the problems that it presents. As is well known, Dr. Marr has devoted a very large part of his life to the study of these problems, and the present volume contains an admirable summary of the results obtained by his predecessors, by his contemporaries, and by himself in this field. Although comparatively small when measured in square miles, there is, perhaps, no other well-defined area where so much variety of topography and of geological Structure is to be found, or where the connection between geology and scenery is so clearly marked. On this latter feature the author rightly lays much stress, pointing out that each formation gives rise to its own particular type of scenery, easily distinguishable even in the distant view.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Description of the Scenery in the Lake District, Intended as a Guide to Strangers Mountains yield to none, however individually inferior they may be, owing to their being seldom seen in a detached point of view: although, on the other hand, they have thus the advantage of forming combinations at once grand and sublime, towering above each other, or rising in ridges like the mighty billows of the ocean. Their general covering is a rich green turf, affording excellent pasturage to large flocks of sheep. The brown of the dying fern and the pur ple hue of the heather add to the variety no less than the beauty of the tints. On some, rocks predominate others have their fronts torn and ploughed up by bursts and speats of rain, exposing and laying bare the soil. The vallies which lie between these masses, are not formed like those of Wales, by the sloping sides of the mountains meeting, so as to leave little room for anything but a terrace road and rugged bed of a. River; but they wind amongst the hills with intricate and abrupt turnings, and in the level bottoms, either a lake quietly rests, or wooded hows and little knolls, on which the cottages are perched, rise out of green meadows and smiling corn fields. It is a great recommendation also to these vales, that each has its peculiar character, no one taken as a whole, bearing much resemblance to any other.
