Land : how the hunger for ownership shaped the modern world / Simon Winchester.
"Land, whether meadow or mountainside, desert or peat bog, parkland or pasture, suburb or city, is central to existence. It quite literally underlies and underpins everything. Employing the keen intellect, insatiable curiosity, and narrative verve that are the foundations of his previous bestselling works, Simon Winchester examines what human beings are doing--and have done--with the billions of acres that together make up the solid surface of the planet." --audiobook container.
