80pp photographic picture book, in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine (cloth just a little rounded at spine ends). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. In its original dust jacket, rubbed around edges, especially on upper leading corner and spine tips. Shows children how to recognise history in the landscapes which surround them, and how man in his pursuit of food, shelter and security has left a mark on the countryside - the text is brief and there are more than 75 illustrative photographs. Tall 8vo.
