Books by Mark Smalley

Mark Smalley lives on a ridge in Bristol complete with subsidence, and was brought up on claggy London clays and beautiful warm Northamptonshire ironstone. He's been a BBC radio producer for over 20 years when some of the best fun has been had recording programmes outdoors in the landscape, hunkered down in the lee of a wall, trying to convey why place matters so much to people. Perhaps a folk memory, but doing geography and a little geology at school somehow only became real when first encountering glaciated valleys in the flesh, in the Lake District. His previous books were educational ones about Europe.
