In his first book since the acclaimed The Running Sky Tim Dee tells the story of four green fields. Four fields spread around the world: their grasses, their hedges, their birds, their skies, & their natural & human histories. Four real fields
- walkable, mappable, man-made, mowable & knowable, but also secretive, mysterious, wild, contested & changing. Four fields
- the oldest & simplest & truest measure of what a man needs in life
- looked at, thought about, worked in, lived with, written. Dee`s four fields, which he has known for more than twenty years, are the fen field at the bottom of his Cambridgeshire garden, a field in southern Zambia, a prairie field in Little Bighorn, Montana, USA, & a grass meadow in the exclusion zone at Chernobyl, Ukraine. Meditating on these four fields, Dee makes us look anew at where we live & how. He argues that we must attend to what we have made from the wild, to look at & think about the way we have messed things up but also to notice how we have kept going alongside nature, to listen to the conversation we have had with grass & fields. Four Fields is a profound, lyrical book by one of Britain`s very best writers about nature.

FOUR LIONS explores the changing landscape of postwar England through the careers of four iconic England football captains: Billy Wright, Bobby Moore, Gary Lineker & David Beckham. Between Wright, who fought in World War II, & Beckham, whose battles against Germany were played out on the football field, huge shifts in English society were mirrored by seismic changes to the national game as television transformed the way in which it is financed & consumed. In Engl&, more than any other nation, the man with the captain`s armband has symbolic significance: he embodies the nation. & these four lions embody half a century of change: Wright smoked a pipe & had a side parting; Moore, hero of `66, exuded the cool of his era but never found a role beyond football; the savvy, telegenic Lineker hung up his boots to become the face of BBC football; while in the tattooed body of Beckham can be read the impact of commercialisation, corporate sponsorship & the cult of celebrity. ...
