Reviews
'[The editors] show that human activities shaped people's landscapes with the material worlds they have created.' New Scientist'Traditional landscape history ignores [the book's] central message at its mortal peril.'Landscape History '...The book succeeds in its presentation of landscape as the instantiation of people's engagement with the material world around them - the social tapestry of everyday life. For it is of everyday life accounts that this book is full. It is this plurality of voices, beliefs, memories, and practices that makes up a noteworthy collection of essays.'Alberto Corsin Jimenez, University of Oxford'[The authors] present a myriad of historical, cultural, political, and geographical viewpoints under a diversity of topics...the essays present powerful accounts of conflict in the human spirit.'Landscape Australia Magazine
