This book is about the complexity and power of landscape. The authors - geographers, anthropologists and archaeologists - explore landscape as something subjective that alters through time and space and that is created by people through their experience and contact with the world around them.
This volume seems like a little bit of a mixed bag, especially if you're reading for a particular treatment or approach to landscape. The emphasis on politics and landscapes that may be suffused with power is a nice change from other volumes that neglect this important aspect.
