'Landmarks' - Robert Macfarlane
Dec 29, 2014, 21:08
Just flagging up ...
By chance I have come across a proof copy of Robert Macfarlane's new book Landmarks "a celebration and defence of the language of the landscape - a book about the power of words to shape our sense of place ..." I've dipped into it and already know I will buy the published version when it comes out in March 2015 (this one is lacking the art work and hasn't been fully edited). It contains several glossaries pertaining to subjects such as Uplands, Waterlands, Northlands, Underlands etc ... Underlands contains sixteen words for chambers and burial sites.

One of the frontispiece quotes is "Scholars, I plead with you, Where are your dictionaries of the wind, the grasses?" Norman MacCaig
