The Lie of the Land
批評家のレビュー
‘If you care about our environment, read this book’ Sir John Lawton CBE FRS
‘This book beautifully subverts the central orthodoxy of England, that owning land is the only way to care for it’ Nick Hayes, author of The Book of Trespass
‘Exhilarating, insightful and bristling with rightful indignation’ Lee Schofield, author of Wild Fell
‘A heartfelt, historically resonant call to reject the myth that private landownership delivers good stewardship of nature … asks nature lovers to act now before it's too late’ Corinne Fowler, author of Our Island Stories
‘The land we love is ailing. Guy Shrubsole makes clear why — and how the healing can begin. This unflinching, illuminating book manages to be both dynamite and medicine’ Amy-Jane Beer, author of The Flow
‘At once shocking and comforting, scathing and uplifting. A book on this subject shouldn't be so readable. A triumph’ Sophie Pavelle, author of Forget Me Not
‘Shrubsole has the belly fire of a campaigner but the precision of an historian. This book should be on the reading list of any new Secretary of State thinking about land use’ Roger Mortlock, Chief Executive of CPRE
‘A groundplan to recover England’s green and pleasant land’ Alastair McIntosh, author of Soil and Soul
あらすじ・解説
The Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lost Rainforests of Britain reveals how landowners wreck the countryside, and how the public can restore it
'Brave and brilliant’ George Monbiot
‘Exhilarating, insightful and bristling with rightful indignation’ Lee Schofield
'A bold, new social contract between landowner and landless. Essential reading' Marion Shoard
For centuries we’ve been sold a lie: that you need to own the land to care for it.
Just 1% of the population own half of England, and this tiny landowning elite like to present themselves as the rightful custodians of the countryside. They’re even paid billions of pounds of public money to be good stewards. But what happens when they just don’t care?
A small number of landowners have laid waste to some of our most treasured landscapes, leaving our forests bare, our rivers polluted, our moorlands burned, and our fenlands drained. Here Guy Shrubsole journeys all over Britain to expose the damage done to our land, and meet the communities fighting back: the river guardians, small farmers and trespassing activists restoring our lost wildlife. Full of rage and hope, this is a bold vision for our nation’s wild places, and how we can treat them with the awe and attention they deserve.
It’s time to demand better for nature. We can start by replacing the lie of the land with a profound truth: that any of us can care for the countryside, regardless of whether you own it.
