Dip into this wealth of inspirational ideas for everything from tiny pebble pools to more elaborate fish ponds, rills, and steps. Lush photographs accompany practical information on good design and sound construction.

The churchyard is one of the most enduring features of our landscape. The 20,000 churchyards of England and Wales span every possible habitat from seashore and rocky coastline to grass and heathland, moor and deep wood. Over the centuries, the churchyard has established itself as an unofficial nature reserve where an abundance of indigenous and naturalized wildlife flourishes undisturbed. The watercolours and drawings in this book evoke this miniature landscape through the changing seasons. The text chronicles the history, traditions and customs of rural parish communities, and describes the practical steps that are needed to conserve a dangerously neglected and threatened part of our inheritance.

British Birds: Their Names, Folklore and Literature

(Birds have always been with us. Around them has grown up ...)

Birds have always been with us. Around them has grown up a substantial body of folklore, often regionally based and dating from as far back as the Druids. They have proved an inspiration for some of the finest writing in the English language from the work of Anglo Saxons to modern poets. Species by species, this text delves into this heritage of bird lore, discussing the origin of the bird's name, any regional variations in that name, and any folklore attached to that species. Alongside this it provides examples of the role particular species have played in poetry and prose."
