Shifting Sands: Blakeney Point and the Environmental Imagination

By Andy Stoddart

Blakeney Point has always been at the forefront of new knowledge and new ideas. It has reflected our understandings and our perceptions of nature, holding up a mirror to how we view the natural world, but it has also been a pioneer, inspiring us to extend what we know and to explore new ways of seeing and thinking. Today Blakeney Point remains an intellectual testing ground, a laboratory of the imagination. It asks us not only what we know about nature but also how we think of it, how we value it and how we might best be part of it. This book sets out to document Blakeney Point's role in uncovering new knowledge and nurturing new thinking but it also explores the often deep historical contexts to these ideas, tracing the connections between the story of this shingle ridge and the shifting sands of our environmental imagination.
