Summary
Villages have been abandoned throughout history, and in every part of the British Isles. Some of them are former towns; others were only ever small hamlets. Many still await discovery. This book explains how villages have become deserted, often the result of disease and shrinking populations.

Deserted Villages by Trevor Rowley
Why are we losing our fight for the Earth? And how do we turn things around? What It Will Take provides the big-picture review we need to answer these crucial questions. It lays out what we're up against - a system rigged for the wealthy few where money in politics is just the tip of the iceberg. It examines how environmental groups often reinforce that system and squander our power. And it explains what we need to do to take control of our destiny. Solutions abound for all the world's problems. When we leave dead-ends and false friends behind, we will be able to put those solutions in place.
