Parks have changed over the years, it seems. And, they don't necessarily show up in an obvious location! To learn more about this, try parks of the 21st Century reinvented landscapes, reclaimed territories by Victoria Newhouse with Alex Pisha. (I have no idea why it's all in lower case, but it is, so that's how I typed it)! You'll find detailed descriptions and photos from parks created along old railways, airports ... in swampy areas, and dry areas, along highways and more. An interesting read, but an index would have been nice.

If you enjoy the British mysteries on TV, and/or reading them then you should enjoy Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village by Maureen Johnson & Jay Cooper. Lots of good advice here. A quick, fun read!
