Description
The Book of Trespass Crossing the Lines that Divide Us by Nick Hayes The vast majority of our country is largely unknown to us, hidden behind walls that exclude us from 92% of the land and 97% of its waterways. This is the story of enclosure, exploitation, and dispossession of public rights that still affects us today. Nick Hayes takes us on a journey over the walls of England, into the thousands of square miles of rivers, woodland, lakes, and meadows that are blocked from public access. He argues that the root of social inequality lies in the uneven distribution of land, and weaves together the stories of those who have challenged orthodox power to reclaim their rights. By trespassing the land of the powerful, Hayes reveals a radical truth about the way we live and the land we inhabit. A thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between land, power, and society, The Book of Trespass will transform the way you see the land.
