Our Land in the Making Book 1 by Richard Bowood,with illustrations by Ronald Lampitt.
 
As we travel through the British Isles today, we see a land which is the result of millions of years of changes brought about by natural forces - and more recently by man.
 
This book tells simply and clearly, and with superb illustrations, the fascinating story of the effect on our landscape as the earth cooled, mountains were formed, sea levels rose, plant and animal life spread, and man arrived to build his villages, towns and roads.
 
The period covered is up to the Norman Conquest. Book Two carries on the story to modern times.
