Copiously illustrated, thoroughly researched, and just as comprehensive as it claims, this glorious survey of Britain's canals is marred only by the busy page layouts and the lack of coherent design generally. The author is a fine writer, an admirable researcher, and a competent typesetter but the page design is that of a beginner experimenting with desktop publishing. I sincerely hope that this edition is such a success that the publishers are able to commission a redesigned second edition in hard covers. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Canals of Britain is a comprehensive and absorbing survey of the entire canal network of the British Isles - the first of its kind. It provides a fascinating insight into the linked up waterways as well as the isolated cuts and quiet waters which may not be fully navigable by larger craft. Infinitely varied, it passes picturesque open countryside, wild moorland, coastal harbours, historic industrial buildings, modern city centres, canalside public houses and abundant wildlife. Stuart Fisher looks at every aspect of the canals - their construction, rich history, stunning scenery, heritage, incredible engineering, impressive architecture and even their associated folklore, wildlife and art. Enticing photographs give a flavour of each place and places of interest close to the canals are included. For those who are keen to explore that little bit further, taking smaller boats to points beyond which others usually turn back, there is information on little-known parts of the system, offering a new insight into this country's unique, surprising and beautiful canal network. Attractive, inspiring and foremost a practical guide, this has proved popular with canal enthusiasts and boaters wanting to get the most out of Britain's canals. This second edition features new canals and more colour photographs. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
