Donington: Shaun Tyas, 2021. Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Edition. A fine new copy. Offers a fundamental shift in how we view the ability of the Anglo-Saxons to undertake engineering works to change their physical environment.

The work includes a bibliography and index, many maps and diagrams and 24 plates in colour. 160pp, colour plates, index.
