Description
Mallorca's landscape has been shaped by over 5,000 years of human settlement and exploitation. From the late Bronze Age navetes and talayots to Roman cities and medieval trading ports, the island's history is reflected in its unique cultural heritage. The impact of tourism on Mallorca's landscape is a pressing concern, threatening many of the remnants of its rich past. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the elements that form the contemporary landscape, drawing on over 10 years of local research. Well-illustrated with maps and photographs, "Mallorca: The Making of the Landscape" offers an accessible exploration of this lesser-known story of history, making it a valuable resource for anyone curious about the world around them.
