Produktbeschreibung
Peter Fowler has written an authoritative account of farming in Britain in the first millennium AD. This is the first synthesis of our knowledge on this topic for a generation. Successive chapters assemble and analyse the latest evidence on farms, fields, technology, food, diet and society. New interpretations are offered on subjects ranging from implements to illuminated manuscripts, and evidence drawn from Northern England, Scotland and Wales contributes significantly to the story. The book concludes with a magisterial review of the ways in which agriculture shaped early Britain's societies and landscapes. It also proposes a chronological model of British agriculture for the whole millennium.
Autorenporträt
After qualifying as doctor at Barts Hospital, London in 1978, Peter spent 16 years as a rural GP practitioner in Tiptree, Essex. Seeking new challenges, he spent the next two years in Western Australia working as a flying doctor, mainly in Aboriginal communities. On returning to the UK, he gained a commission in the Royal Navy as a surgeon commander which included various postings in Europe, and deployments to Afghanistan, Malawi and the Gambia. He became the last serving ship's doctor on HMS Ark Royal aircraft carrier before the ship was decommissioned in 2011, followed by several years as a medical repatriation doctor visiting 50+ countries. What has evolved is an interesting 'journey in life' and many stories need to be shared, some amusing, many life-changing, many very unusual, but mostly rewarding for his patients and him.
