Sorry, you'll have to buy the book. This volume was partly the idea of my old friend, Roger Deakin, who was also the co-founder of Common Ground, who published it, and was also a contributor to the book. Roger, who sadly died in 2006, was one of the best modern writers on the countryside and has been compared to Richard Jefferies and Willam Cobbett. Deatils of his work, legtacy and an insight into his thinking and personality can be found here:
