For many of us geography has an inexorable quality. Brimming with real and imaginary objects like mountains oceans and borders our world seems quite literally set in stone. But over time we have become experts at reshaping our surroundings both through ingenuity and brute force. From the Qhapaq Ñan South America's 'Great Road' to the Panama Canal from Mozambique's railways to Korea's sacred Baekdu-daegan mountain range Samson explores how humans have etched our needs onto the natural landscape and in doing so changed the very course of history. A sweeping work that touches on ecology sociology history and politics Earth Shapers argues that far from being prisoners to the inevitability of geography we are instead fundamental and intrinsic to it.
