Description
Field explores the concept of land and human interaction through the lens of a specific location. At its core, a field is a place where earth and human meet, shaped by the clearing of ground, woodland, and animals over time.
The term "field" has its roots in Old English, with connections to the words for "earth", "land", and "plain". This etymology highlights the complex relationship between land and human activity, a theme that is woven throughout the book.
