This book blends linguistic richness with literary essays from renowned nature writers, offering a unique, poetic journey into how words shape our connection to place. With next-day UK dispatch and a 4.6-star rating from over 900 readers, it’s a must-have for anyone passionate about nature, language, and culture. ## Description From Robert Macfarlane, the acclaimed author of The Old Ways and Underland —a celebration of the language of landscape and the power of words to shape our sense of place For years now, the British writer Robert Macfarlane has been collecting place-words: terms for aspects of landscape, nature, and weather, drawn from dozens of languages and dialects of the British Isles. In this, his fifth book, Macfarlane brilliantly explores the linguistic and literary terrain of the British archipelago, from the Shetlands to Cornwall and from Cumbria to Suffolk, offering themed glossaries of hundreds of these rare, deeply local, poetical terms, organized by such geographical terrains as flatlands, uplands, waterlands, coastlands, woodlands, and underlands. Interspersed with this archive of place words are biographical essays in which Macfarlane writes of his favorite authors who have paid close attention to the natural world and who embody in their own work the huge richness of place language—from Barry Lopez and John Muir to Nan Shepard, J. A. Baker, and Roger Deakin. Landmarks is a book about the power of language and how it can become a way to know and love landscape, from a writer acclaimed for his own precision of utterance and distinctive, lyrical voice. Review: There is more than one way to climb a mountain - This is a magical book. It is both a collection of landscape words from the British Isles and a meditation on writing, mountains and landscapes. It is not a quick read but something that satiates after a few pages, requiring digestion, or rereading. The place words are from a vanishing time when we knew our land like we now know how to get about town. The words shimmer with beauty even though I suspect I am making a poor job of the Gaelic pronunciations. I thought I was a pretty good writer but reading this is humbling in a happy way, taking pleasure in his writing and glad that there are people who can write like this. If you love nature, if you love words, if you think there is more than one way to climb a mountain (p. 63), this is a book that will give you pleasure. Review: Another fascinating topic from Robert MacFarlane - This is a very interesting approach to nature and to language. Anything that R. Macfarlane writes is going to make me think, and probably point me in the direction of several other books to add to my list. After only 2 or 3 chapters of this book, I already have 2 other books to find and read. I wasn't sure what to expect. Much of this is about other writers and their approach to nature and outdoors. Each chapter has a lengthy glossary, probably 70% of which contains words new to me. The book is definitely British-centric, but don't let that put you off. Rather, let it start you on an exploration of how regional writers in the US relate to and reflect their chosen environments. ## Features - Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #178,867 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #187 in Nature Writing & Essays #216 in Linguistics Reference #244 in Travel Writing Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 913 Reviews | ## Images ![Landmarks (Landscapes) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81w5gBv87fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There is more than one way to climb a mountain *by N***R on May 16, 2015* This is a magical book. It is both a collection of landscape words from the British Isles and a meditation on writing, mountains and landscapes. It is not a quick read but something that satiates after a few pages, requiring digestion, or rereading. The place words are from a vanishing time when we knew our land like we now know how to get about town. The words shimmer with beauty even though I suspect I am making a poor job of the Gaelic pronunciations. I thought I was a pretty good writer but reading this is humbling in a happy way, taking pleasure in his writing and glad that there are people who can write like this. If you love nature, if you love words, if you think there is more than one way to climb a mountain (p. 63), this is a book that will give you pleasure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another fascinating topic from Robert MacFarlane *by M***C on February 9, 2016* This is a very interesting approach to nature and to language. Anything that R. Macfarlane writes is going to make me think, and probably point me in the direction of several other books to add to my list. After only 2 or 3 chapters of this book, I already have 2 other books to find and read. I wasn't sure what to expect. Much of this is about other writers and their approach to nature and outdoors. Each chapter has a lengthy glossary, probably 70% of which contains words new to me. The book is definitely British-centric, but don't let that put you off. Rather, let it start you on an exploration of how regional writers in the US relate to and reflect their chosen environments. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Disenchantment is the distinctive injury of modernity *by M***S on March 28, 2019* Find enchantment The lists and glossaries are captivating - as a study in cognitive linguistics, this book rocks. As a series of biographies of land-wise people, it is fair. As a treatment of the philosophy of place-love, I get it. I got tired of the troubled souls and the people-hatred by the middle of the book. (Aren’t humans part of nature? Aren’t their constructed habitats natural?) But the glossaries kept me reading to the end. Some notes: On optical illusions: our habitual vision is not the only correct perception (68) A tree is a river of sap (105) On moving and seeing (237) On being north-minded (220) Wonder is an essential survival skill (238) Emerson: language is a city to the building of which every person has brought a stone (342) The smell of rain on stone = petrichor (348) This book rehabilitates the word “parochial.” In a good way. ## Frequently Bought Together - Landmarks (Landscapes) - The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot (Landscapes) - The Wild Places (Landscapes) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/32165027-landmarks-landscapes](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/32165027-landmarks-landscapes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-27*
