Just Published - The Land Between the Moors
Running to 15 chapters and 400 pages, this book publishes the results from a wide spectrum of research undertaken in the land between Exmoor, Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, covering both natural and social sciences. It is illustrated throughout with James Ravilious photographs from the Beaford Archive. As the lead editor, Michael Winter who lives in West Devon, explains in his foreword to the volume, the book is “a homage to a place that has been both home and the object of intellectual curiosity for so long.”
