Lost Cornwall
Cornwall's
Lost Heritage
£5.99
Cornwall's spectacular shoreline, with its brutal cliffs, desolate moors & pre-historic coastal settlements, has long held a source of fascination for those who cross the Duchy's boundary line. Yet despite the endurance of seascapes & ancient landscapes, which remain hidden from mainstream tourist routes, there are, throughout Cornwall, stories of change. Patterns of life have adapted to a shifting world, & whole communities have been affected as traditions are gradually subsumed in the struggle for 'progress'. However, remnants of recent history are still evident in Cornwall's architecture, its redundant transport systems & its cultural relics. This book is an exploration of some of the region's hidden facets & lesser known places which are testament to a way of life experienced just a couple of generations ago. ...

Product Description

Explore the history of vanished empires & forgotten cultures from the oldest, prehistoric civilisations to the mysterious lost empires & post-classical disappearances of this world. 

In some places, the only evidence that remains of a civilisation is the few artefacts that archaeologists have been able to recover: Perhaps an odd bit of pottery or a piece of jewellery. In Lost Civilisations, Bill Price describes what is known of 35 lost or legendary civilisations stretching across the globe. 

Fully illustrated throughout with photographs, maps & archive images, Lost Civilisations will look at all the pieces of evidence to explore & explain the incredible array of civilisations that make up our past & what happened to them.
