What does its distinctive landscape tell us about how people lived and worked here in the past? What impact have invasion, technology, war and, most importantly, sheep made on it? Find out how today's landscape is the joint and ongoing creation of nature's long, slow relentless shift and humanity's incessant bodging and fidgeting with its environment. To the untrained eye, the rolling Sussex landscape looks like a natural phenomenon that has been in place for millennia. But as this fascinating guide shows, what we see today is the result of centuries of human activity and interference. Did you know, for example, that Sussex was once the heart of the iron industry? The clues are in the hammer ponds, found in what are now idyllic backwater villages and bosky woodland. These were once Sussex's version of Blake's satanic mills. <a href="/product/?pid=37677">The Shaping of the Sussex Landscape</a> will help train your historic eye to pierce through the layers of time, changing custom and technology, to discover the different ways the land has been used and really appreciate and understand the ingenious ways the landscape has been shaped and continues to be shaped to new needs and attitudes.

It seemed the appropriate word to use for an invigorating gallop alongside the the fast-and-loose livers of the Sussex-by-the-Sea, past and present. Some people try to claim that the filthing of Sussex is a result if the Brighton effect, the insidious metropolitan stain of London-sur-Mer oozing out over the rest of us, but history proves them wrong. It's not all down to Georgie Peorgie and his naughty puddings, pies and tarts. You would not believe what used to go on in Steyning of all places, who would have thought it. And if you believe that gang violence was something invented by asbo-wielding hoodies, wait until you meet the Hawkhurst tea barons or the Hastings Chopbacks and their spine-splitting cutlasses. In what other county could any one have pulled off a scam as eccentric as the Piltdown Man? Sussex is just as renowned for its darkside as for its natural sunny beauty, and <a href="/product/?pid=14524">Salacious Sussex</a> is the book to celebrate it.

That's what seasoned bird-watcher Rob Yarham believes, and to help the rest of us to get more out of these life-affirming moments, he has chosen his top 20 Sussex birds and written an affectionate personal tribute to each of them. His descriptions of the birds and his encounters with them will inspire you to go out looking with new eyes. The second-half of <a href="/product/?pid=16071">Bird Watching in Susse</a>x is devoted to a review of the best sites and places to find Rob's top 20, and many other fascinating birds: Sussex natives, incomers and birds of passage.

We also had some lively correspondence from readers concerning place names with Sussex origins. Here are a couple. Mr Bruce Smith wrote, The main item in my brief list of Sussex-inspired place names is Brighton, which is how locals refer to New Brighton, a coastal suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand and a seaside resort, as you might expect. (The seas there, especially the currents, can be quite dangerous, though many bathers are to be seen "between the flags": NZ's Brighton had the first lifeguard service in the country, founded in 1910.) However, the name is only indirectly taken from the Brighton I'm now living in, as the place is apparently named after New Brighton in Cheshire. The number of Brightons in the English-speaking world, and perhaps beyond, must be quite large: there's one in Cornwall, for a start, as well as another one in NZ, near Dunedin. And a famous one, courtesy of Neil Simon, is to be found in/near New York City. Your column inspired me to look up the NZ Amberley, also Hastings, both of which I've always supposed to be named after the Sussex locations. Well, I was wrong, it turns out: Amberley in NZ takes its name from a town/village in Derbyshire (there's one in Glos., too); while NZ's Hastings may be named after Warren H., tried in the 18th century for alleged corruption while he was working for the East India Co. - it's been suggested that the landowner/developer had been reading about him (in Macaulay's essay?) shortly before the name was chosen. So my "list" is very brief indeed. Though I'm sure many a district/street name in New Zealand (and Australia) has its origins in Sussex, none spring to mind; and you'll understand if I feel I don't want to spend hours trawling through online gazeteers trying to find them. I look forward to reading what other readers have come up with next week, or whenever they're printed. And Mr Ian Steedman made the following interesting observation, I read with interest the article on the Sussex-America connections, and although I may have mentioned this earlier, there is the Ringmer-America connection too. Two Ringmer girls, one the daughter of John Sadler vicar back in 1620 married John Harvard, and the daughter of Sir William Springett married Wm Penn. http://www.snakeriverpress.co.uk/news/item.htm?pid=3089 Issue 25 of Sussex Bookends, Saturday August 29 2009 3055 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 22:12:26 +0000 Sussex Bookends, our weekly feature in <a href="http://www.theargus.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Argus</a>. <img id="" src="/sites/135/news/bullet.gif" alt=" " border="" class="" usemap="" style=""/> Quiz Answers 1 Where in Sussex can a fully recreated Roman garden be found?
