Atlas of the Irish Rural Landscape Hardcover - 1997 - 1st Edition

by Aalen, F. H. A. [Editor]; Whelan, Kevin [Editor]; Stout, Matthew [Editor];


From the publisher

Lush and green, the beauty of Ireland's landscape is legendary. "The Atlas of the Irish Rural Landscape" has harnessed the expertise of dozens of specialists to produce an exciting and pioneering study which aims to increase understanding and appreciation for the landscape as an important element of Irish national heritage, and to provide a much needed basis for an understanding of landscape conservation and planning.

Essentially cartographic in approach, the Atlas is supplemented by diagrams, photographs, paintings, and explanatory text. Regional case studies, covering the whole of Ireland from north to south, are included, along with historical background. The impact of human civilization upon Ireland's geography and environment is well documented, and the contributors to the Atlas deal with contemporary changes in the landscape resulting from developments in Irish agriculture, forestry, bog exploitation, tourism, housing, urban expansion, and other forces.

"The Atlas of the Rural Irish Landscape" is a book which aims to educate and inform the general reader and student about the relationship between human activity and the landscape. It is a richly illustrated, beautifully written, and immensely authoritative work that will be the guide to Ireland's geography for many years to come.

First line

The famous French geographer Vidal de la Blache once observed that 'man and his environment are more intimate than a snail and his shell' while the great British geographer Sir Halford Mackinder, using even quainter imagery, remarked that 'man is part of his own environment, as cheese mites are part of the cheese'; that reciprocal relationship between culture and nature is worked out and embodied in the landscape.
