Summary

The official book accompanying the BBC's landmark seven-part TV series, this collection features exclusive, awe-inspiring photography from the program, as well as computer simulations charting Britain's natural history, its industry and transport systems, natural heritage, and archeology. The book contains three main sectionsBritain's Landscape, Man Made Britain, and Wild Britain, showing island Britain's constant battle with the elements. Aerial footage shows how phantom traffic jams appear and how floodwater ebbs and flows, while computer simulations show the effects of building development in the next 50 years to show what London could look like in 2058. Britain From Aboverepresents the landscape of a nation as it's never been seen before. In his Foreword, Andrew Marr writes:"After months of talking, looking and traveling, it is impossible not to be impressed anew by the roiling, bubbling and borderline-chaotic energy of the country. Britain is a most unnatural place."
