Book excerpt: A spectacular new perspective on the Lake District from the award-winning mountain photographer and filmmaker Alastair Lee, Lake District Mountain Landscape is a work of extraordinary commitment and originality. With an emphasis on the mountain heights, Lee captures the otherworldliness and majesty of the 'English Alps' in all seasons and conditions. An experienced climber, Lee brings all his skill and tenacity to the task of capturing sunrises from the top of the highest peaks, moonlight on icy slopes and seas of cloud filling the familiar valleys of Lakeland. Ascents of seemingly unscaleable crags like Pillar and Gimmer Crag are celebrated, and 360 degree panoramas in ethereal upland light from high peaks including Helvellyn, Bowfell and Great Gable are complemented by a series of identifying sketches. In a book which will be full of revelations for Lakelanders and visitors alike, Alastair Lee renews and redefines the magic of this much loved landscape

Book Synopsis Lake District Walks by : Brian Conduit
Download or read book Lake District Walks written by Brian Conduit and published by Jarrold Pub. This book was released on 1990-03 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the essential ingredients of a mountain landscape grandeur, beauty, ruggedness can be found in the Lake District, yet on a comparatively small scale, making the region welcoming rather than forbidding. From almost all the major peaks there are views of peaceful, wooded valleys, giving the region an essential 'Englishness' which distinguishes it from the Scottish Highlands and nearby Snowdonia and inspiring some of William Wordsworth's most romantic poetry.
Book Synopsis Lake District Mountain Landforms by : Peter Wilson
Download or read book Lake District Mountain Landforms written by Peter Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Book Synopsis Rocks and Rain, Reason and Romance by : David Howe
Download or read book Rocks and Rain, Reason and Romance written by David Howe and published by Saraband. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Howe tells the story of the Lake District, England's most dramatic landscape. Home to vistas of stunning beauty and a rich heritage, it is an area of England that fascinates, inspires – and has bewitched David for a lifetime. With passion and an endless curiosity, he reveals how half a billion years of shifting ice, violent volcanoes and (of course) falling rain have shaped the lakes and fells that have fired the imaginations of the great sons and daughters of the area, the poets and the scientists. He shows that Lakeland is a seamless web where lives and landscape weave together, where the ancient countryside has created a unique local history: of farming and mining, of tightknit communities, of a resilient and proud people. The Lake District is a place of rocks and rain, reason and romance, wonder and curiosity. And this book celebrates it all: the very character of Cumbria.

Book Synopsis Flora of the Fells by : Friends of the Lake District
Download or read book Flora of the Fells written by Friends of the Lake District and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a critical introduction to the changing geographies of global development. It moves away from the traditional approach of providing descriptive accounts of Third World geographical issues and instead finds alternative geography of development theories and practices, which show that development has been a pain-staking, protracted and fiercely contested process. By examining the progress towards development at the beginning of the 21st century, it raises issues of debt and democracy, but also looks at the recent wave of anti-capitalist protests and global financial summits. It provides a critical history of development geography as a sub-discipline, exploring some of the different historical and geographical settings in which geographers have conducted research about development. At the same time it gives a wide-ranging introduction to contemporary patterns and debates about global development.

Book Synopsis The Making of a Cultural Landscape by : Mr Jason Wood
Download or read book The Making of a Cultural Landscape written by Mr Jason Wood and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-11-28 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the English Lake District has been renowned as an important cultural, sacred and literary landscape. It is therefore surprising that there has so far been no in-depth critical examination of the Lake District from a tourism and heritage perspective. Bringing together leading writers from a wide range of disciplines, this book explores the tourism history and heritage of the Lake District and its construction as a cultural landscape from the mid eighteenth century to the present day. It critically analyses the relationships between history, heritage, landscape, culture and policy that underlie the activities of the National Park, Cumbria Tourism and the proposals to recognise the Lake District as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It examines all aspects of the Lake District's history and identity, brings the story up to date and looks at current issues in conservation, policy and tourism marketing. In doing so, it not only provides a unique and valuable analysis of this region, but offers insights into the history of cultural and heritage tourism in Britain and beyond.
Book Synopsis Mountain Republic by : Philippa Harrison
Download or read book Mountain Republic written by Philippa Harrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 867 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An affectionate but meticulously researched history of one of the most beautiful and best-loved corners of England – Crosthwaite Parish, nestling deep within the mountains and valleys of the Lake District. 'A unique contribution to English history' Hunter Davies 'A delightful, refreshingly written book, attentive to social detail and telling the only story that matters – history' Simon Jenkins 'A wonderful book' Margaret Drabble 'A completely fresh perspective on the Lakes and Lake Poets... I hugely enjoyed it' Andrew Marr Bounded by the peaks of Scafell, Skiddaw and Helvellyn, and embracing such well-known landmarks as Borrowdale, Derwentwater and Keswick, it lies within the heart of the Lake Poets' landscape and its rugged terrain excites passion in all those who know it. The Parish also boasts a remarkable history. Its 90 square miles were governed, from medieval times, by eighteen annually chosen 'customary tenants'; ancestors of the people who later prompted Wordsworth's portrayal of the area as 'a perfect Republic of Shepherds and agriculturalists'. His fellow poet Robert Southey lived within the Parish for forty years, was an active parishioner and rests in St Kentigern's churchyard. Here he is given his rightful position as a Lake Poet. In the nineteenth century, the Victorian state killed off the old parish system, sweeping away the egalitarian rule of the Eighteen Men. But a degree of redemption was at hand. Canon Rawnsley, vicar of Crosthwaite from 1883, pledged to defend the Lake District for future generations. So the Parish was at the heart of the creation of the National Trust and blazed a trail for a wider movement to preserve the English landscape. Writing with a historian's rigour and bearing aloft the banner of the Lake District statesmen, Philippa Harrison has produced a magisterial and fascinating record of a parish with a unique social, cultural and aesthetic resonance in English history.
