This is a journey around the Welsh coast, undertaken in all weathers and all seasons, from the Severn estuary in the south east to the mouth of the Dee in the north east. On the way, Jeremy Moore and Jon Gower encounter and document those landscapes that give this spectacular coastline its enduring character, as well as those places and communities that form more temporary, but equally fascinating, features of its scenery and sensibility. Published to coincide with the opening of the All-Wales Coastal Path, Wales at Water's Edge is a visual and verbal evocation of that journey, sometimes lyrical and lavish, other times more exploratory and incisive, but always grounded in a deep knowledge and understanding of the highways and byways of Wales at water's edge

Covering from earliest settlements to the present day, The Story of Wales explores a country constantly on the move and connected with the wider world, and a people who have reacted with energy and invention to changing times and opportunities. Revisiting the major turning points in Welsh history—from the fledgling Welsh state under Llywelyn the Last and the ravages of the Black Death, through to its transformation into an economic power with the Industrial Revolution and its participation in the creation of a modern British Welfare State and the economic boom of the 1940s and 50s—Jon Gower reexamines many of the myths and misconceptions about Wales and the Welsh, uncovering rich evidence of its outward-looking dynamism and its important role on the world stage. Accompanying a landmark BBC series, and with an introduction by series presenter Huw Edwards, The Story of Wales is an epic account of Welsh history for a new generation.
