The Book of Trespass will make you see landscapes differently' Robert Macfarlane\u003cbr\u003e'A remarkable and truly radical work, loaded with resonant truths' George Monbiot\u003cbr\u003eThe vast majority of our country is entirely unknown to us because we are banned from setting foot on it. By law of trespass, we are excluded from 92 per cent of the land and 97 per cent of its waterways, blocked by walls whose legitimacy is rarely questioned. But behind them lies astory of enclosure, exploitation and dispossession of public rights whose effects last to this day.\u003cbr\u003eThe Book of Trespass takes us on a journey over the walls of England, into the thousands of square miles of rivers, woodland, lakes and meadows that are blocked from public access. By trespassing the land of the media magnates, Lords, politicians and private corporations that own England, Nick Hayes argues that the root of social inequality is the uneven distribution of land.\u003cbr\u003eWeaving together the stories of poachers, vagabonds, gypsies, witches, hippies, ravers, ramblers, migrants and protestors, and charting acts of civil disobedience that challenge orthodox power at its heart, The Book of Trespass will transform the way you see the land.\u003cbr\u003e---------------\u003cbr\u003eA GUARDIAN, i AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Literary Cat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52856277827848,"sku":"9781526604729","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/7688\/0392\/files\/9781526604729.jpg?v=1763930389","url":"https:\/\/literarycatbooks.myshopify.com\/products\/the-book-of-trespass-crossing-the-lines-that-divide-us-by-nick-hayes","provider":"Literary Cat Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
