Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World with Simon Winchester
Zoom presentation given for the Athenaeum of Philadelphia on February 3, 2021 Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World examines in depth how we acquire land, how we steward it, how and why we fight over it, and finally, how we can, and on occasion do, come to share it. Ultimately, Winchester confronts the essential question: who actually owns the world’s land—and why does it matter?
