Britain from Above door Ian Harrison

A beautiful book full of photographs there'd be no way you could replicate yourself without going to some serious lengths. Slightly biased toward London, but then, what isn't? As a Northerner it could do with a bit of Northern Steel to it, but otherwise a lovely reference book and something to remind you just how beautiful this country really is.

Britain From Above door Ian Harrison

Was given this by a family member, probably around four years ago when it was published, and has sat on a shelf since. But noticed it, and decided to take a look. I hadn't seen the TV series, so didn't know what to expect. But it was an enjoyable afternoon read, interesting information, especially the historical bits, alongside great photos.

"Britain From Above",accompanies the BBC series of the same name,which ran on British television in 2008.
It should be said that if you haven't had the chance to view this,then the book will not really come to life properly for you. This is because the TV series was just breathtaking and nothing like it has been seen before.This book will give you an idea both of the actual photography and of the making of this fantastic series. Really the title of this book says it all and If you want to see more,then go to www.bbc.co.uk/britainfromabove… (meer)

Britain From Above door Foreword by Andrew Marr

Bought 12 Sep 2008 - Amazon

With a foreword by Andrew Marr, this is the book of the TV series he presented a few months ago. It's quite different from the TV programme though, with a fascinating section comparing archive photos of places with their current incarnations, and it provides a brilliant overview (ha ha) of the country, its transport, geology and other patterns. Although there wasn't a huge amount of text and I read it quite quickly, it had been saved up as a "treat" read, and treat it certainly was.… (meer)
