Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For a relatively ephemeral feature of the landscape of those English uplands made of porous chalk and limestone, the artificial watering sites for livestock known as dew ponds have been the subject of a great deal of legend, misinformation, experimentation, and scientific research. This generated much published material from the late 1700 onwards, the key elements of which are highlighted in this book. These ponds are of uncertain age, but historical records going back several centuries confirm the existence of these essential water sources for the great flocks of sheep that grazed the upland pastures. Today, a well-watered dew pond is an attractive aspect of the landscape, and they are increasingly recognised as valuable sources of wildlife diversity.David Riviere explores the history, construction, and restoration of dew ponds as well as their creative representation in this introduction to a neglected feature of the country's landscape heritage. An introduction to the history, construction and restoration of dew ponds as well as their representation in myth and art. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781398124615
