Beschreibung

Paths Erased explores the fascinating world of ancient roads and lost pathways, revealing how these forgotten routes shaped civilizations. The book highlights the intricate relationships between societies and their environments by examining the construction, utilization, and eventual abandonment of these vital arteries.

 
Discover how the Roman road system facilitated trade and military campaigns, while also acknowledging the environmental impact and displacement of indigenous populations caused by routes like the Oregon Trail.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with an introduction to the historical and archaeological significance of "erased paths." It then examines the environmental changes, political instability, and technological advancements that led to their disappearance, such as the Mayan causeways' abandonment due to deforestation.

 
Finally, the book details the methods used by archaeologists and historians to rediscover these pathways, including satellite imagery analysis and archaeological excavation. By studying these forgotten routes, we gain a unique lens through which to understand the dynamics of past civilizations and draw lessons for present-day challenges in infrastructure and cultural preservation.

Storm Pegs - A Life Made in...

Jen Hadfield

This audio edition is read by the author and was recorded in a remote studio in Shetland. 'Storm Pegs perfectly captures the knotting of language and landscape. I was transported.' - Katherine May, Sunday Times bestselling author of WinteringFrom the winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize and the Highland Book PrizeWhat if the answer to ‘Where am I?’ is ‘heaven’?In her late twenties, celebrated poet Jen Hadfield moved to the Shetland archipelago to make her life anew. A scattering of islands at the northernmost point of the United Kingdom, frequently cut off from the mainland by storms, Shetland is a place of Vikings and myths, of ancient languages and old customs, of breathtaking landscapes and violent weather. It has long fascinated travellers seeking the edge of the world.On these islands known for their isolation and drama, Hadfield found something more: a place teeming with life, where rare seabirds blow in on Atlantic gales, seals and dolphins visit its beaches, and wild folk festivals carry the residents through long, dark winters. She found a close-knit community, too, of neighbours always willing to lend a boat or build a creel, of women wild-swimming together in the star-spangled winter seas. Over seventeen years, as bright summer nights gave way to storm-lashed winters, she learned new ways to live.In prose as rich and magical as Shetland itself, Hadfield transports us to the islands as a local; introducing us to the remote and beautiful archipelago where she has made her home, and shows us new ways of living at the edge.
