[Artists' Kew reveals Kew in its charming detail as well as in its full natural beauty by the Thames. It is about people too: their interaction with those settings, and the settings in turn as public places for simple relaxation and fun as well as the backdrop for enjoyment of botanical delights. Indeed, Kew today is more popular than ever: with visitors to the Royal Botanic Gardens and The National Archives, and as a residential community. More than 50 artists particpated in the exhibition on which Artist's Kew is based. The charitable share of proceeds from the sale of their work was in support of Kew's plans to construct a purpose-built gallery to display the world's most important collection of botanical art and manuscripts.

[This book gives a comprehensive account of the history of the Broads, an area of great interest to natural historians and tourists alike. Broadland is set mostly in Norfolk and partly in Suffolk. The peat deposits in Broadland were dug in many places mainly during the 9th to 13th centuries. The pits eventually filled with water, giving us the Broads, 190 km of navigable water unimpeded by dams or locks. Before the Second World War, Broadland was the epitome of richness of water plants and their associated animals, and was of international importance as a diverse wetland. Sadly, much of the richness has now gone, and the significance of Broadland lies more now in its significance in environmental restoration. The problems faced by the Broads are being experienced world-wide, and devising ways in which the Broads may be managed to restore the previous richness has produced a… Read More

[The Chilterns - a name derived from the Saxon word Cylt or Chilt, meaning chalk - 'forms a high but undulating tract of hill, vale and wood' rising up in Hertfordshire, sweeping through Buckinghamshire and dropping down into the Thames valley. In this landscape people have lived in harmony with their surroundings for many centuries, exacting a living from the soil, the beechwoods, the cherry orchards, and the cottage industries of lace-making and straw-plaiting. The Chilterns has undergone dramatic changes since the reign of Henry VIII when religious persecution was rife. In the Civil War, the Chiltern Hills became the reluctant frontier between Oxford and London, a battleground for many skirmishes and a witness to death and destruction.
