Abstract:		 In 'The medieval countryside: approaches and perceptions' (1-11) the editors introduce the multidisciplinary approach to late 11th-late 15th century rural resource exploitation and management. Christopher Dyer (12-35) in 'Documentary evidence: problems and enquiries' stresses the evidence for change reflecting shifts in supply and demand. G Astill (36-61) in 'Rural settlement: the toft and the croft' demonstrates intra- as well as inter-regional variation and the increasing sophistication of domestic building: he also discusses (62-85) 'Fields'. John Langdon (86-107) asserts that 'Agricultural equipment' changed little until the late 16th century. James Greig's summary (108-27) of 'Plant resources' notes the introduction of new species, and Paul Stamper (128-48) traces the reduction of woodland and increased legislation in 'Woods and parks'. Annie Grant (149-87) considers domestic and wild 'Animal resources' in relation to food, status, and religion, while Richard Smith (188-212) considers the causes of demographic change and the relationship between demographic growth and agricultural intensification to c 1300 in 'Human resources'. Summing up, the editors (213-34) in 'The medieval countryside: efficiency, progress and change' explain that their book has concentrated on resources of the countryside and has necessarily fragmented a complex web of stimuli and responses.
