Landscape, Wealth and Dispossession describes the evolution of British landscapes, at home and abroad, in terms of five political forces. Each one generates the next as humanity, feudalism, capitalism, industrialism and individualism.
Part I, Humanity, considers the geographical and consequent ecological environment with which the post-glacial British interacted as they created a human landscape. A landscape that evolved to manifest the wealth and political power of the few, and the dispossession of the many. The process is described in a lively, illustrative, way in order to encourage a better understanding of the contemporary landscape.
