Air of Mann - Roy McMillan

There is something magical about being able to see the world from above. In this book, Michael Thompson reveals an island not just alive with history but also disclosing both its present and some hints of its future. From coastal views to townscapes, over glens and hamlets, "Air of Mann" takes a snapshot of the lsle of Mann at the beginning of the 21st century. It shows the development of the island as more people and businesses locate here, illustrating how the island is coping with the changes of the last decade. But the view from the skies also shows just how much the past is still imprinted on the land, and how much the land itself determines the Island's character. Michael Thompson is well-known for his work capturing the Spirit of Mann on film, but here he gives a fresh approach to familiar landscapes, and a chance to see the island as never before. It is a view of the lsle of Man which will make this book something to treasure for those who know and love the Island, as well as those who have yet to discover it.
