The English Coast: A History and a Prospect

by Peter Murphy

This book examines the interaction between people and the coast of England. It spans from 700,000 years ago, and the earliest evidence of humans in this remote corner of north-west Europe, to the end of the 20th century. The coastline has witnessed interesting and significant events throughout history and looks set to do so in the future. Peter Murphy analyses the coast as evidence for past human adaptation to environmental changes and as a cultural contact zone in terms of trade, industry, immigration, and conflict. 282p (Continuum 2009, Pb 2011)
