Book Review
“Earth Shapers” by Maxim Samson is a simple and clear book about how humans have changed the land over thousands of years. It tells stories of people creating roads, canals, cities, and other ways of connecting places. The book shows that humans are not just controlled by the land but have also changed it to suit their needs, shaping the world in many ways.
The book explains that different groups of people have different ways of working with the land. Indigenous people, for example, saw themselves as a part of nature and lived in harmony with it. Western settlers, on the other hand, often saw land as something to be owned and changed. Samson gives many examples, like Chicago, the Panama Canal, and a large project in Saudi Arabia called THE LINE, which plans to make a huge city in a long, straight line.
