England in Particular. - Sue Clifford, Angela King
A Celebration of the Commonplace, the Local, the Vernacular and the Distinctive.
KORTE INHOUD
England is a land of extraordinary variety, rich in buildings, landscapes, people and wildlife. But this diversity is under siege. Mass production, fashion, increased mobility and the forceful promotion of corporate identity have brought with them standardised shop fronts, farm buildings, factories, forests and front doors, while intensive farming has created a bland, empty countryside.
This book is a counterblast against loss and uniformity, and a celebration of just some of the distinctive details that cumulatively make England. It is the culmination of more than twenty years' work by Sue Clifford and Angela King, who founded Common Ground with Roger Deakin. Since 1982 this innovative charity has been encouraging us to appreciate and stand up for what is significant about our surroundings. Seen from the Common Ground perspective, things need not be conventionally pituresque, rare or spectacular to be special - there is value and local meaning to be found in cakes, cliffs, cooling towers and cuckoos.
