ABSTRACT Throughout the Second World War, the Luftwaffe attacked Norwich on various occasions. The impact this had on the city was recorded visually on the ‘Norwich Bomb Map’. This cartographic depiction, however, only records a single ‘horizontal’ component of the aerial ‘battlescape’. In reality, the aerial battlefield comprised a combination of Norwich's air defences and the flightpaths of the Luftwaffe bombers, which existed in three-dimensional space. As other scholars have developed methodologies for reconstructing anti-aircraft ‘fire domes’, this article will combine these concepts with a new approach that reconstructs historic flightpaths to give a three-dimensional overview of Norwich's ‘Gun Defended Area’. By examining all components of Norwich's airspace, this article will demonstrate the importance of considering the vertical component of a battlescape.

important contribution to the cross-fertilisation of research. Given the range of approaches summarised it should not be a surprise that the chapters recommending future courses of action often address different problems: biodiversity protection versus feeding a growing human population, for example, or issues of rural development as opposed to approaches to urban agriculture. Indeed, different chapters frequently present apparently contradictory analyses: the assertion by several authors that feeding a projected 10 billion people will require a doubling of current levels of food production, for instance, is disputed in the chapter by Raffle and Carey where it is asserted that global food production in 2014 was sufficient to feed 14 billion. Drilling into the cited sources and data may demonstrate that this is a difference of perspective rather than a real contradiction, of course (e.g. different projection methods or different modelling assumptions), but presenting counter arguments within a single volume serves to illustrate the vibrancy of these debates and the inevitability of trade-offs in any attempts to balance social, economic and ecological concerns. In omitting a synthetic introduction or conclusion the editors force the reader to draw their own conclusions regarding these competing imperatives, but the volume does a good job of introducing the reader to a range of approaches and concepts – even if I for one am still no wiser as to what is meant by a ‘foodway’. All the chapters add something to this mix, meaning that the handbook is perhaps best read as a volume rather than as individual papers on discrete areas of work, since together they illustrate the complex intersections between landscapes and food and hence the complexity of our attempts to manage both.

ABSTRACT Palm trees are today a characteristic feature of tropical tourist landscapes around the world, from the Caribbean to the Maldives. They are also a distinctive element of Mediterranean landscapes. On the Italian Riviera they are frequently found in the grounds of villas and hotels, at railway stations and in public squares. This paper examines the changing landscapes of the palm trees of the Italian Riviera over the last 300 years. Palms, particularly Phoenix dactylifera, were an important element of the local economy cultivated especially for palm fronds to be sold for religious festivals. The widespread presence of palm trees gave stretches of the Ligurian coast in NW Italy an almost tropical character, especially around Bordighera and Sanremo. These coastal towns became major health resorts in the late nineteenth century and international tourists and residents celebrated this exotic landscape. The palms became important subjects for amateur and professional artists and photographers, proliferated in gardens, as street trees and in horticultural collections. They became signature trees for these wealthy therapeutic landscapes. Rapid building development and the decline of the palm trade, however, means that only fragments of the old palm plantations remain today, and these are in need of careful conservation.

originally crown officers but from 1877 have been responsible for the interests of commoners. Governance of the Forest is still complicated with the most modern layer of management being the National Park, now the statutory local planning authority, which overlaps with various local authorities. The National Park also has to interact with the Forestry Commission and the Verderers. Despite the potential for conflict, Hadrian Cook sees the National Park as being beneficial because of the need to manage the New Forest holistically. He is mindful of political threats to the forest, citing Government proposals to privatise Forestry Commission land in 2011. Other threats to the Forest’s ecology and historic landscape arise from visitor numbers, pressures on traditional management, inflated prices for local housing and land and harmful development. It remains a challenge to conserve what Hadrian Cook calls a ‘largely open access national treasure’.
