This fascinating book deals not just with the way the British climate has shaped the scenery, but how both affect the people. A quote from the chapter "Mountains and moorlands; the effect of altitude" will illustrate how the author binds it all together. Throughout, Manley backs up the hard science of meteorology with a wealth of human history and culture. The reader gains an extraordinary insight into what it is to be British, as well as a detailed understanding of one of the world's more complex weather patterns. There are copious maps and diagrams and many of the black and white photographs are masterpieces.
