We live in a world where the drive for economic growth is crowding out everything that can’t be given a monetary value. We’re stuck on a treadmill where only the material things in life gain traction and it’s getting harder to find space for the things that really matter but money can’t buy, including our future. Fiona Reynolds proposes a solution that is at once radical and simple – to inspire us through the beauty of the world around us. Delving into our past, examining landscapes, nature, farming and urbanisation, she shows how ideas about beauty have arisen and evolved, been shaped by public policy, been knocked back and inched forward until they arrived lost in the economically-driven spirit of today. A passionate, polemical call to arms, The Fight for Beauty presents an alternative path forward: one that, if adopted, could take us all to a better future.
A brand new colour atlas of Bristol and Bath (replacing the black and white Bristol and Avon atlas), giving the only comprehensive, detailed coverage of the region - including all of the authorities of City of Bristol, North Somerset, Bath and North-East Somerset, and South Gloucestershire. The mapping is prepared by the Ordnance Survey and gives the user complete coverage of all urban and rural areas. The mapping is at a standard scale of 32 inches to 1 mile (22 inches to 1 mile in the pocket edition) and is complete with postcode boundaries. The atlas is ideally suited for both business and leisure use. There is a route-planning map at the front of the atlas, the main maps show every named road, street and lane clearly with through-routes highlighted. School locations are marked and emergency services, hospitals, police stations, car parks and rail and bus station locations are all featured. There is a comprehensive index of street names and postcodes including schools, industrial estates, hospitals, sports centres etc. These are highlighted in red in the spiral atlas.
