Review: I would have liked to give this book a five star review. An interesting foray into geology and archaeology but lacking much of the wisdom offered by the title. Also I was very irritated by "Those soldiers left behind a Britain that has not known an engulfing war for most of a century..." as a description of the First World War. This is simply historically sloppy and encourages an ignorant view of history ignoring the numerous wars fought between the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War.
