| Description: |
Describes how the landscapes of North America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa were transformed by the pursuit of resources. This book underscores the history of the indigenous people of these regions and shows how they came to lose 'possession' of their land to governments made up of Europeans with European interests at heart. |
| Synopsis: |
A critique of the greatest reallocation of resources in the history of the world and its impact on indigenous peoples, property rights, and the very foundations of modernity. |
