Quotes by Richard Oram  (?)

“Far from being anything close to pristine nature or in any sense wilderness, all of what we see today is part of a complex cultural construction, layer upon layer of cultural landscapes. Every one of these superimposed levels has been manufactured by millennia of interaction between humans and the wider environment through which they moved and which they altered and adapted to deliver the means to sustain themselves.”
Richard Oram, A Land Won from Waste: Scotland AD 400 - 1400
