Description
Simon Winchester explores the complex and often contentious history of land ownership around the world. From the early days of American westward expansion to the more recent debates over colonialist reparations, Winchester examines the ways in which land has been mapped, owned, and cared for. This book is a thought-provoking study of the stewardship of land, its impact on the people who live on it, and the ongoing questions of fairness and restoration.
