Lightbulb Free (Kindle UK) Wetland by Adam Nicolson [Nature Culture Conservation Photo Artbook]

Wetland by award-winning British history and landscape writer Adam Nicolson (Wikipedia) is presumably his 1987 PBFA Topography Prize-winning non-fiction nature, local culture, & conservation coffee-table book Wetland: Life in the Somerset Levels with photographs provided by Patrick Sutherland, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins's William Collins imprint.

Actually, that last is probably not entirely accurate, as this seems to be a glitch freebie. But it's a really nice glitch freebie.

Enjoy it while it lasts, if it indeed turns out to be what it seems and doesn't get cancelled on you.

Currently free to pre-order (slated for March 26, 2015) @ Amazon UK

Description (cribbed from the long out of print hardcover edition, since the e-book has none as yet)
Patrick Sutherland's photographs and Adam Nicolson's prose capture the existences of the men and women for whom this part of England forms the background and substance of their lives.

As the Wetlands come under threat from both the forces of modern farming and the contradictory, complex demands of conservation, this book provides a lasting poetic record of what may well be a passing way of life.
