Peter Apian’s Astronomicum Caesareum was published in 1540. The product of 8 years of work, it is a complex book with many interactive wheel diagrams, also known as volvelles or Apian wheels, that allowed the user to calculate the positions of the planets as they moved around the central earth. The book, published only three years before Nicolaus Copernicus’ treatise that positioned the sun at the centre of the universe, draws on a millenia of scientific knowledge and represents the pinnacle of sixteenth century print making.

Grazing marshes represent one stage in the drainage and exploitation of land that was once a floodplain swamp or mire. Farmers and engineers installed ditches and windpumps, converting the primeval wetland into a chequerboard of meadows and pastures separated by drainage channels. Often flooded in winter and too wet to grow corn, these betwixt and between landscapes developed into a remarkable haven for wildlife.
