Comparing The Sussex Landscape: Urban Area Of The District Of Wealden

Although Leopold’s love of great expanses of wilderness is readily apparent, his book does not cry out in defense of particular tracts of land about to go under the axe or plow, but rather deals with the minutiae, the details, of often unnoticed plants and animals, all the little things that, in our ignorance, we have left out of our managed acreages but which must be present to add up to balanced ecosystems and a sense of quality and wholeness in the landscape.

“So long as the human consciousness remains within the hills, canyons, cliffs, and the planets, clouds, and sky, the term landscape, as it has entered the English language, is misleading. ‘A portion of territory the eye can comprehend in a single view’ does not correctly describe the relationship between the human being and his or her

Outline the geographical processes relevant to the management of the Cronulla, Wanda and Kurnell area.

Throughout history the unique and changeable Australian landscape has inspired a diverse array of artistic responses. Impressios of its power and beauty, expressions of individuals' responses, symbolic religious orientation, the range of landscape art works extends onwards. A great example of the vast variations of styles can be seen in the artworks of Glover, Drysdale, Berkowitz and Reid.

In chapter 5 of Mavericks, From Space to Territory Aritha van Herk writes about the West and its romantic appeal along with different men who were given the task of surveying and exploring the West where upon in turn they became captivated by its romantic appeal. In her writings about these men, and the West that they were tasked with “discovering”, there is a connection to regionalism, landscape and subsequently Plains identity. Regionalism refers to the unique characteristics of a geographic area, or to people’s perception and identification of that area. Landscape refers to that geographic area’s features that help form the characteristic qualities of a people in the region. Landscape also dictates how a region will develop over time. Plains identity follows as it is formed by regionalism and landscape. These three concepts can be found in van Herk’s writings in this chapter as she analyzes how people perceived the West.

Bournemouth is situated in Dorset in the south of England, boarding the world heritage site, the Jurassic coast. It is Dorset’s largest city and is growing rapidly. Founded in 1810 and in 1851 was just a small village of 695 people, and in 2001 its population was recorded at 163 600. The council are expecting around an 11% increase by 2011. Bournemouth is an example of rapid coastalisation.

It’s the grassy greens, near the winding pebbly road I remember first. The long stalks of spinifex still line the edges, though now neatly trimmed all around. The uneven crunch-crunch-crunch of the gravel as I drive my sunny Porsche across town. Even in winter, bindies pepper the half soccer field, other foliage: a bush dotted with withered yellow berries and emerging saplings surround the patchy lawn like spectators. Smack bang in the middle, winter clawing its way in, stands a grandiose resilient oak, basking under the mild heat of the country sun, glorified as it houses two tombs. Its boughs stretch towards me invitingly and I smile…

The geology of Pembrokeshire is well known for the coastal display of diversity of rocks and scenery over 250 miles exposure than any equivalent area in Britain. It has ancient landscape which was formed many years ago (290 million) at the end of Carboniferous period. The geological process and action such as river weathering, glaciations and marine erosion on this variety of rock is as a result of diversity of coastal landscape.

The environment of Jackson County is a mix of urban and rural areas. The downtown areas of the cities have been restored and mostly historical buildings. These buildings house a variety of restaurants, bars, and small businesses. The homes near the downtown areas are mix of homes that have been restored or are in need of repair.

These common areas appear to be open to everyone.

Birmingham is a thriving industrial and commercial centre situated in the heart of England, a highly common urban area that is located in the centre of the west midlands. Birmingham has been regenerating itself visually as well as industrially with developments such as the Mailbox and the recently rebuilt Bull Ring Shopping Centre, making it a striking attractive modern European city.

Heathland is favoured where climatic conditions are typically hard and dry, particularly in summer, and soils acidic, of low fertility, and often sandy and very free-draining; mires do occur where drainage is poor, but are usually only small in extent. Heaths are dominated by low shrubs, 20 centimetres (7.9 in) to 2 metres (7 feet)

Inhabiting the Landscape: Place, Custom and Memory, 1500–1800 (2009) by Nicola Whyte captures the character of ordinary people’s experience of landscape and offers an understanding of the landscape as a lived environment imbued with diverse meanings and associations particular to time and place. It also shows how the landscape could be used to express beliefs on matters such as land use rights, local customs, and traditions. Whyte weaves in discussions of parish perambulations throughout the work, placing the practice within the broader context of interactions with the landscape.

Passing by the flat and rolling landscapes of the Interior Plains, I learned that there was more than what I thought, which were flat and featureless terrains, when I thought of it as the inner land of a country. However, there are actually two escarpments that separate the region into three elevations. The area receives the perfect amount of water and sunlight, which is evident by it’s diverse variety of vegetation and is also a prime destination for farming and is home to many oat, wheat, and barley farmers. My favourite feature of the Interior Plains is it’s majestic wide river valleys. Watching the beauty of the sunset in this grand setting seems to relinquish me from all of my worries, almost as if they are washed away by the ever flowing
