And what, if anything, remains? This is the unexpectedly \u003ci\u003ehuman\u003c\/i\u003e history of wild Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWilderlands\u003c\/i\u003e, archaeologist Eloise Kane unearths 12,000 years of our changing relationship with and influence on the landscape. Through prehistory, Roman occupation, the Middle Ages and beyond, we see the unfamiliar beasts of our old wild make way for species such as brown hare and fallow deer, now romanticised as eternal symbols of the British countryside, but introduced much later than we might think.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Places free from our influence haven't existed for a very long time. But Eloise Kane invites us to rethink our definition of the wild - not as separate from us. Seen anew as the result of millions of human lives lived, \u003ci\u003eWilderlands\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how we are integral to the ecology and biodiversity of our land - with the power to shape its future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Wilderlands : The Human History of Wild Britain","offer_id":46218028482757,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-0-571-38914-8.jpg?v=1778703574","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/wilderlands-the-human-history-of-wild-britain","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
