Books by Janet Dickinson

The 1590s have long been considered as having had a distinct character, separate from the remainder of Elizabeth's reign. This book provides a reassessment of the politics and political culture of this significant period.

Drawing on ideas from the 'slow food' movement with a concern for locality, ecology and quality of life, this book aims to define slow travel and to discuss how some underlining values are likely to pervade new forms of sustainable development. It explains slow travel as holiday travel where air and car transport is rejected.
