EARTH SHAPERS: HOW HUMANS MASTERED GEOGRAPHY (PB)

Mountains, meridians and rivers carve up the world on our maps and in our minds. But geography is far less fixed than we might believe; over time, we have become experts at reshaping our surroundings. From the Qhapaq Nan of the Incas and the Panama Canal to Mozambique's railways and Korea's sacred Baekdu-daegan mountain range, Samson explores how we have moulded the world around us. Touching on ecology, sociology, history and politics, Earth Shapers argues that, far from being constrained by geography, we are instead its creators.
