A nice hardback, with a good feel to the paper and binding. And this is just the kind of book you would want in hardback, as you will probably dip in for many years to come.
These are rather spare, often unconnected musings. Unconnected in the sense that, unlike in his "Waterlog" or "Wildwood", there is no particular theme. But as he is a pretty holistic person, there are links and mental ley-lines all over the place, so the musings flow into each other smoothly, like water off a spinning ball. It is nice to see the links to his other books: swimming in the moat, memories of Kyrgyzystan. After water and wood I find myself looking for the third leg of a trilogy, a common theme. That is not there. He comes back to water, and to wood, ... Read More: >>More Details |

I do like a bit of hedgerow and it's great to enjoy the free gifts from Mother Nature, but until I got my hands on a copy of this pocket sized guide, it was a little unclear.
This book is ideal and helps you understand what's under your nose in the gardens! So many common plants can be used in cooking and yet still we pay mini-fortunes for little bags of this and that in the shops. This book certainly helped me to identify and try some of the more obscure plants that I had absolutely no idea I could eat. It's clear descriptions of what they look like alongside nice imagery of the plants themselves help you feel brave enough to give them a pluck and cook and the warnings are there to be heeded, particularly when it comes ...

There is only one point where I've got to criticize Hugh FW - his recipe for goose. Believe me, you don't wont it half raw but really well done. If you never tried it like that, you don't know what you missed. I'm german and goose has always been the traditional christmas roast in Germany, so I really know what I'm talking about. A good goose of about 5 kg needs about 5 hours at 175 °C, 200 °C for the last 90 minutes to crisp up. Taking into account that you've got to check and baste the bird regularly and be a bit flexible with cooking time, that should give you a really tender and moist bird. Having said that, the rest of the book is really great. I tried a lot of the recipes which all turned out fine. The "Broccoli with Anchovy and caper mayonnaise" and the "Lightly ... Read More:

Time Out Book of Country Walks: 52 Walks Within Easy Reach of London: 1 (Time Out Guides): 52 Walks Within Easy Reach of London: 1by: Christopher Sommerville September 01, 2005 Best Selling > Books > Countryside |

We have done several walks in the book and have enjoyed them all. The instructions are clear (and updates are posted on the website), and all the information you need is in there. There are great tips on where to have lunch and this often turns into the real highlight of any walk (that long awaited glass of cider on a hot summer's day in the garden of a country pub) ...
If you like walking and exploring the glorious English countryside, this is the book you need to inspire you and take you away from the London smog! >>More Details |

since our trip to scotland, i have bought book after book of photographs of scotland, trying to find one that captures what we saw. this one does. when we first drove into the highlands, the beauty brought me to tears. you turn round and round and take pictures that can't possibly capture what you are seeing. well, colin prior has captured scotland in this book, and i am so grateful to him!

Just loved this. Mr Kingdom writes a hugely interesting and engaging account of his life and adventures. For any fan of the TV series then this is a must. An insight into an honest, hard-working and devoted man.Lots of anecdotes and stories of his varied past. Very touching. A modern day, working class philospher.

I was given this book as a present for Christmas by my family. Within the last year, I have developed a true love of nature, so this seemed like the perfect gift. To be honest, looking at the Amazon page, I am quite surprised that THE NATURE OF BRITAIN has received such mixed reviews. One has said that the book is not definitive - well, perhaps this is the case, but it is meant to be a celebration of our landscape and our wildlife, and in this sense it is a triumph.
The book is divided into different sections covering different habitats; woodland, coast and islands, fields and meadows etc. Similar to the BBC series which accompanies this book, there are glorious colour photographs to bring to life what is being described. As a book which can be enjoyed by people ... Read More: >>More Details |
