Rezensionen

"The latest sweeping, satisfying popular history from the British American author and journalist, this time covering a topic that many of us take for granted...Engaging revelations about land and property, often discouraging but never dull. - Kirkus Reviews

"Exudes the comfort and charm of a beloved encyclopedia come to life." - New Yorker

"In many ways, "Land" combines bits and pieces of many of Winchester's previous books into a satisfying, globe-trotting whole...Winchester is, once again, a consummate guide." - Boston Globe
