Firmly in a storied tradition of English nature writing that stretches from Gilbert White to Helen MacDonald, Rising ground reveals the ways that places and peoples have interacted over time, from standing stones to footpaths, ancient habitations to modern highways. Marsden's close, loving look at the small patch of earth around him is sure to help you see your own place--and your own home--anew.
