- This book is a summary of the development over the past three decades of the influential methodology Landscape Character Assessment and its archaeologically-founded parallel Historic Landscape Characterisation. It focusses particularly on the most recent and innovative applications that have been carried out in many European countries, but it also includes examination of cognate approaches used on other continents. All three editors were instrumental in the UK development of the approach, or in its dissemination thereafter across Europe in the wake of the European Landscape Convention, to the implementation of which it offers a significant contribution. Published in 2018, it was republished in paperback format in 2020. Fairclough was the lead editor throughout the commissioning, drafting and editing stages, and lead liaison / mentor ‘ language editor with all 34 international contributors. He was the lead author (alongside Sarlöv-Herlin and Swanwick) of the introductory chapter ‘Landscape Character Approaches in Global, Disciplinary and Policy Context – An Introduction’ and ‘Conclusion: Seeing Obstacles and Finding Ways Ahead’, and co-author with Swanwick of chapter 2, ‘Landscape Character: Experience from Britain’.
