It should be an essential read for students and all countryside managers and rangers. - Dan Barnett, Chairman Countryside Management Association. This is a fascinating, comprehensive, timely and critical review of our use and management of the countryside. - Bill Blackledge, Chartered Landscape Architect, The Landscape Institute. Follow the fortunes of the rise and fall of countryside management across the UK, from one period of austerity after the Second World War to the current contemporary interpretation of hard economic times. This volume addresses what it has meant in enabling public outdoor spaces to be well managed and enjoyed. The historical account of public sector interventions in countryside management over the last 70 years paints a picture of adaptation and deftness to such changing fortunes. It shows how, to deal with challenges over this period, those working in this field have been highly creative and innovative. For someone who has been involved for the last 40 years, Ian's research and insights brought back many good memories. These recollections were of comradeship and finding practical solutions in a collaborative way and this book deserves to be read. - Jo Burgon, Chairman Outdoor Recreation Network.
