Mark Denton captures the drama and beauty of one of England's most treasured landscapes. From broad, open dales to bleak uplands and isolated high hills, Mark Denton's panoramic camera reveals the ever-changing light on both renowned and unheralded places. An essay by Richard Mabey describes his first acquaintance with the Dales, and his growing understanding and appreciation of this unique landscape. This is the concluding volume in Mark Denton's Yorkshire Trilogy, following Yorkshire Coast and Yorkshire Moors and Wolds. Mark Denton is one of Britain's most acclaimed young landscape photographers, described by Joe Cornish as 'one of the few photographers to have mastered the large panoramic camera, and he uses it to capture landscape in all its drama, depth and colour ... the result is a unique body of work.'

Chiang Yee's account of London, first published in 1938, is original in more ways than one. Not only one of the first widely available books written by a Chinese author in English, it also reverses the conventions of travel writing. For here the "exotic" subject matter is none other than London and its people, quizzically observed as an alien culture by a foreign writer.

The landscape and people are the two most distinctive qualities of the Yorkshire Dales, and this book employs new sources and methods to help the reader see both in a different light. In earlier centuries, religious and social factors influenced the first names that were given to children. Distinctive surnames were inherited, and their expansion or decline can throw light on local communities, on migration and population growth. Place-names emerged from regional and customary practices that illuminate topography, husbandry, mining, communications and much more. Thebook also uses material from Quarter Sessions, title deeds, wills and other documents to investigate a wide range of topics that touch on the lives of individuals and families, from religious dissent to sheep-stealing and vagrancy. There is emphasis too on the poor, showing the impact on families and communities of bastardy, fire, flood, violence and other disasters. A book written for anyone interested in the local and family history of the Yorkshire Dales.
