NORTH SEA: ALONG THE EDGE OF BRITAIN (HB)

Alistair Moffat spent a year travelling Britain’s eastern shores to better understand our relationship with the North Sea. This sweeping history takes the reader from the white cliffs of Dover, past flooded homes, crossing wild fenland and Brexit fault lines, visiting well-worn seaside towns and windswept island monasteries. It is a story of invaders and newcomers, of the cultures and peoples they met and changed; of submarine engineering and weather forecasting, whaling and fishing, oil and offshore wind farms. Above all, it is a story of insistent, inescapable change.
