” Patterned Ground” unravels the entangled relationships between nature & culture. Around 100 entries by leading names in new geography & related disciplines focus on various `objects` in the landscape
- from beaches to battlefields, bees to horses, police stations to post-offices, trees to tractors. Each piece, written by an expert in the field, explores the way in which we understand that object & its relationship to the world around it. This book is neither encyclopedia nor dictionary, but a knowledgeable & impassioned engagement with the world. In this sense, it chimes with earlier experiments in understanding the earth & its landscapes, whether these endeavours have been conducted within the sciences, the social sciences or the arts. ” Patterned Ground” backtracks from familiar & obvious ways of seeing patterns in the world, & discovers it anew. In this way, it opens up new possibilities for thinking about the relationships between ourselves, objects & the ground on which we walk.
