UNCOMMON GROUND (HARPERCOLLINS) (PB)

An extraordinary tour of rural Britain, from the Hebrides to Devon, and from Anglo-Saxon England to the present day. The author meets farmers, Irish Travellers, politicians, salmon poachers, and the nation's most-hated landowners, as well as activists calling for a total abolition of the right to own land, and works hard to listen to those who often don't get listened to. Uncommon Ground argues that what matters is not greater access, but how we engage with the land, while also giving endangered wildlife the right to tranquillity.
