Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World by Simon Winchester
$29.99

The first cornerstone is a picture of Chief Standing Bear (whose lands were stolen), and the second is the opening paragraph from Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on Inequality (Western thought). Historian extraordinaire Simon WInchester’s latest is a fascinating, philosophical history of the concept of what is ‘ours’ pertaining to fabricated ownership of the Natural world.
