Portrait of Surrey

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Reprint. Hardback. Sunned spine to D/J. Surrey is one of the most beautiful countries in Britain - and one of the most threatened. With its wide open chalklands, its pine-dotted ridges, its vast area of heathland and common, and its many attractive villages and country towns, Surrey is indeed a lovely county. Yet in its very beauty lies its greatest danger. For lying, as it does, at the very doorstep of London, the country is invaded every fine weekend by an army of cars. Of course people need to escape from the drabness of suburbia, but all too often they destroy the very peace amd quiet they come to enjoy. This cruel dilemma, although not confined to Surrey, is more acute there than anywhere else in britain, and it forms a principal theme of this book. Contents: David and Goliath.
