Dungeness, says Richard Mabey in one of the pieces in Selected Writings
1974-1999, could reveal several thousand years of the comings and goings of sea
currents from a study of its piled-up shingle ridges…if only they were spared
from exploitation. Again and again in these fifty or so polished journalistic
pieces, Mabey throws out observations that could intrigue—or
inspire—anybody and everybody. Published by Random House, £20, ISBN
