The book explores the Peak's prehistoric sacred landscapes; we learn how the builders of the great henge at Arbor Low may have viewed the world. It also covers the dramatic impact on the land over the centuries of farmers, miners and quarrymen. As well as new interpretative maps (of, for instance, Chatsworth Park), this edition also includes an updated gazetteer of sites and a comprehensive bibliography. It is an indispensable guide to the area's archaeology.
