EARTH SHAPERS: HOW HUMANS MASTERED GEOGRAPHY (HB)

Mountains, meridians, rivers and borders: these are some of the features that carve up the world on our maps and in our minds. But geography is far less fixed than we might believe. In fact, we have become experts at reshaping our surroundings. From the Qhapaq Nan, South America's 'Great Road', and the Panama Canal to Mozambique's railways and Korea's sacred Baekdu-daegan mountain range, this book explores how we mould the world around us and alter the course of history.
