À propos de la quatrième de couverture
The British landscape has extraordinary stories to tell, if you know how to read them
In Sacred Land, Martin Palmer takes you on a unique journey through England, Scotland and Wales. From long barrows and stone circles to the design of towns and churches, our landscape reflects how the people of Britain once believed themselves - and all they created - to be part of a greater, more sacred story. This fascinating book helps you to understand how those beliefs have shaped, and continue to shape, our world - and how you can unravel those stories in the landscape and buildings around you.
Discover:
The four great stories that have shaped Britain's landscape over the past 7000 years - and how to uncover the traces of them in your local area. How the countryside reveals its ancient past through its fields, farms and villages.Why many of the rivers in Britain are named after the same goddesses as rivers in India.The auspicious directions which have shaped the layout of almost all British towns and cities.What churches and graveyards reveal about changing beliefs over the centuries.
Packed with information and insights, and a gazetteer of places to visit, Sacred Land is a lively, practical guide to reading the landscape around you, wherever you live in Britain.
