Description
In "Land," Simon Winchester embarks on a sweeping global exploration of humanity's complex and often fraught relationship with the earth beneath our feet. From the brutal Highland Clearances of Scotland to innovative rewilding projects and the affirmation of Indigenous land rights, Winchester delves into the myriad ways land has been claimed, used, and contested throughout history. With his signature blend of meticulous research and engaging prose, he illuminates the profound impact of land ownership on societies, cultures, and the very fabric of human existence. This journey across continents and centuries reveals both the enduring power of the land and the enduring human desire to possess and shape it.
