The Land We Share is an extraordinarily lucid and creative analysis that clears the fog that has descended on issues of property ownership and rights. This is essential reading. --David W. Orr author of The Nature of Design What does it mean to own land? No one has thought more deeply or written more lucidly about this question than Eric Freyfogle. He brings to the discussion a sure knowledge of American history and law, a keen awareness of our ecological predicament, and a lively tongue. --Scott Russell Sanders author of Hunting for Hope and The Force of Spirit Freyfogle's argument that private property is an organic, natural entity that has evolved from age to age not a static concept bound by immutable laws comes just in time for a renewed debate on the subject. Goodness knows we need some fresh thinking on the matter, and Freyfogle has supplied it. --John Hanson Mitchell author of Trespassing: An Inquiry into the Private Ownership
