What is Landmarks (Landscapes) about?

x, 434 pages : 20 cm "Landmarks is a book about the power of language - 'strong style, single words' - to shape our sense of place. It is both a field guide to the literature the author loves (Nan Shepherd, Roger Deakin and many more), and a 'word-hoard', gathering an astonishing archive of place-terms from old Norse to Anglo-Romani, living Norman to Hebridean Gaelic. Over the book's course, via its chapters, its glossaries and surprise of its postscript - we come to realize that words, well used, are not just a means to describe landscape, but also a way to know it, and to love it"--from publisher "First published by Hamish Hamilton 2015. Published with an additional glossary in Penguin Books 2016"--Title-page verso Includes bibliographical references and index
