As he travels the length of the eighty-mile river, he uses his years of travelling the world and his work on nature films to place the fauna and flora he encounters along the Tees in a wider context.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHe weaves together strands of personal experience, nature writing, botany, geology and history with an account of the impact of human industry and agriculture on the Tees and its valley. \u003ci\u003eSteel River\u003c\/i\u003e is thus a natural and social history of a remarkable river, but also presents the Tees as a universal exemplar of environmental degradation, allowing the author to reflect on     and offer prescriptions for     the broken state of the natural world after 10,000 years of human activity.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636921028766,"sku":"UBD-9781804542613","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781804542613.jpg?v=1774399657","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781804542613","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
