Cornerstones by Mark Smalley
A collection of essays about geology and the ground beneath our feet first heard on BBC Radio Three, from some of our leading landscape and nature writers. Contributors include John Burnside, Alan Garner, Linda Cracknell, Sara Maitland and Esther Woolfson.
Mark Smalley lives on a ridge in Bristol complete with subsidence, and was brought up on claggy London clays and beautiful warm Northamptonshire ironstone. He's been a BBC radio producer for over 20 years when some of the best fun has been had recording programmes outdoors in the landscape, hunkered down in the lee of a wall, trying to convey why place matters so much to people. Perhaps a folk memory, but doing geography and a little geology at school somehow only became real when first encountering glaciated valleys in the flesh, in the Lake District. His previous books were educational ones about Europe.
