Description
Landscape and Memory by Simon Schama is a unique history book that explores our relationship with the landscape around us. Through a series of journeys through space and time, Schama examines how rivers, mountains, forests, and other natural features have impacted human culture and imagination.
This book builds its argument through poetic stories and impressions, creating a cumulative effect reminiscent of a great novel. By tracing the ways in which humans have shaped landscapes to meet our needs, Schama reveals the compelling ideas that underlie these concepts.
