Descripción de la solapa

Our bodies are archives of sensory knowledge that shape how we understand the world. This book considers how government mega-projects -- dams, power plants, canals, military bases have forced such radical changes that local people no longer recognize their home and workplace--or who they are. It offers a prescient perspective on how humans make sense of a rapidly changing world.
