Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Written from the ground where it happened, by a Guardian of the British Normandy Memorial who walks the D-Day beaches every week. "You do not need to be a military historian to understand what happened at Omaha. Your body tells you." On 6 June 1944, more than 150,000 men from a dozen nations crossed the English Channel and assaulted the most heavily fortified coastline in Europe. Thousands would not survive the day. The world they fought to save is the world we live in now. Storming The Shores tells the complete story of D-Day and the Battle for Normandy, from the rise of Hitler and the fall of France, through the years of planning and preparation, to the brutal reality of the beach landings, the savage hedgerow fighting, and the destruction of the German army at Falaise. It covers all five invasion beaches, Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword, with the kind of vivid, human detail that brings the history to life. But this is not a book written from a library. It is written from Normandy itself. Author DG Oldham lives in the Normandy countryside, walks the D-Day beaches and battlefields regularly, and serves as a Guardian of the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer. His perspective is unique: part military history, part personal exploration, part guide to the landscape where these events unfolded. He writes about the soldiers who fought, the French civilians caught between two armies, the Resistance fighters who risked everything, and the quiet Norman lanes where the evidence of 1944 is still visible if you know where to look. Inside this book you will find: The full story of D-Day from the political failures of the 1930s to the liberation of ParisDetailed accounts of all five beach landings, including the near-disaster at OmahaThe airborne operations: paratroopers, glider assaults, and the capture of Pegasus BridgeThe French Resistance and SOE agents who paved the way for invasionThe brutal three-month Battle for Normandy, Caen, the bocage, Cobra, and the Falaise PocketThe devastating impact on Norman civilians and the complicated aftermath of liberationSoldiers' letters home, what they wrote, what the censors cut, and what they could never sayA practical guide to visiting the battlefields, memorials, museums, and lesser-known sitesThe story of the British Normandy Memorial and how you can help preserve itPerfect for: history readers, battlefield visitors planning a trip to Normandy, families researching a relative who served, anyone who wants to understand why D-Day still matters, and what it cost. Includes a companion app "Walking in Their Footsteps" a GPS-enabled D-Day tour guide for the Normandy battlefields, plus a full listing of museums and places of interest with opening times and prices. "The beaches are peaceful now. The hedgerows have grown back. The fields are farmed again. But the ground remembers, and so should we". This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The honest guide to BNG habitat banking that the operators do not give you.Someone has contacted you about Biodiversity Net Gain. A habitat bank operator. A land agent. A neighbour who heard about it at the county show. The pitch is appealing: turn part of your land into a habitat bank, sell biodiversity units to developers, and generate a new income stream.The pitch is also incomplete.It does not tell you about the 30-year legal commitment. It does not tell you about the upfront costs. It does not tell you what happens if the units do not sell. And it does not tell you about the tax uncertainties that even HMRC has not resolved.This book tells you all of those things.What you will learn: How the BNG unit market actually works, with current prices from 17,000 to 200,000+ per unit depending on habitat typeThe honest economics: a full 10-hectare worked example showing gross revenue, costs, and net income over 30 yearsWhich land works best for habitat banking and which land does notThe 30-year commitment in full: what you are signing, what happens if you fail to comply, and whether you can get out of it (you cannot)Three routes to market: partnering with an operator, working with a broker, or doing it yourselfThe registration process step by step, from ecological assessment to first unit saleTax treatment: income vs capital gains, VAT uncertainties, Agricultural Property Relief grey areas, and what your accountant needs to knowStacking BNG with SFI, carbon credits, and nutrient neutralityHow to evaluate a habitat bank operator and the red flags to watch forFive worked examples: a retiring dairy farmer, an arable farmer with marginal land, an estate with a natural capital strategy, a small farmer testing the water, and a farmer who decided not to proceedA decision framework: eight questions to help you decideWho this book is for: Farmers. Landowners. Estate managers. Land agents. Rural trustees. Tenant farmers. Anyone who owns or manages land in England and wants to understand whether a habitat bank is the right decision for their holding.What this book is not: This is not a sales pitch for habitat banking. It is the honest assessment you would want if you were sitting at your kitchen table with 50 hectares of marginal grassland and a habitat bank operator on the phone. Some readers will finish this book and decide to proceed. Others will decide to wait. Both are good outcomes.Current as of April 2026, including the latest NSIP demand surge, February 2026 market pricing, and the most recent government consultation responses.Companion volume to BNG: What Builders Need to Know.
