Marginal Landscapes Book
This book reveals the layered richness in untidy marginal landscapes – abandoned places, derelict industrial sites, easements for overhead powerlines, railway sidings and so on. It is divided into four parts, Remembering, Forgetting, Accepting and Re-Enchanting. The first part, Remembering, explores the landscapes of our childhood focusing on marginal areas where children develop independence through play and adventures away from adult surveillance.
