Norfolk-based Rosamunde Codling has devoted much of her life to landscape, ranging from The Broad at the University of East Anglia to the frozen lands of the Antarctic. This, her first book, argues that landscape belongs (or is common) to us all. "Landscapes are for living in, and many of their components meet our material needs. But there is more – landscapes are part of our lives, places where values and emotions co-exist, giving us a different form of sustenance not met by other means". A former landscape architect and planner, Ros had an early fascination with Antarctica, resulting in two visits following studies at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge. Closer to home, she worked on a water-storage scheme in the Wash and on the UEA's man-made Broad. In this thought-provoking book, among other subjects, the author contemplates the link between landscape and history; the portrayal of landscape through art, poetry and even cigarette cards; and landscapes that 'surprise'.
