Hertfordshire
Richard Lydekker
What gave Hertfordshire its name, its rivers, and its shape? Richard Lydekker answers with a naturalist's precision, tracing the county's boundaries, watershed, geology, and soil, and the life those foundations support. A clear, methodical study of a single English shire. For anyone who loves to understand the bones of a landscape beneath its fields and hedges. Read the county from the ground up.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
