Synopsis

Landmarks is a book about the power of language to shape our sense of place. It serves as both a field guide to beloved literature and a "word-hoard," collecting an astonishing archive of place-terms from various ancient and living languages. Through its exploration, the book reveals how words are not merely tools to describe landscapes, but also a profound way to understand and connect with them.
