Vanishing Landscapes tells the story of how plants disappeared from our daily lives one by one. First were apples, then household medicines like saffron, cloth dyes like woad, grapes for making wine, and then, eventually, the timber and reeds we used to build our houses and the wheat we grew for our bread.

Il Medioevo è un tempo ancora poco definito e uno spazio dai confini labili, una dimensione storica scarsamente conosciuta che continua a essere lo specchio deformante del nostro presente: “cose da Medioevo” si dice, come se non appartenessero ai giorni nostri. Per orientarsi in un Medioevo spesso invisibile a occhio nudo, ma che sottende tutta la nostra storia, bisogna quindi immergersi nel passato con un inventario d'autore e seguirne i percorsi, fatti di storie, personaggi, luoghi e intersezioni, cercando di dipanare una fitta trama di false credenze.

Il suo peggior nemico: il libero pensiero. La sua arma più terribile: l'"Auschwitz delle coscienze", l'annientamento della persona con la violenza psicologica e l'isolamento in carcere.

Wir neigen dazu, das Mittelalter als eine dunkle, rückständige und konstante Zeit zu sehen, die von Gewalt, Unwissenheit und Aberglaube geprägt war. Im Gegensatz dazu glauben wir, dass Fortschritt auf Wissenschaft und technischer Innovation beruht und dass uns erst die Erfindungen der letzten Jahrhunderte in die Moderne geführt haben.

Er skizziert die enormen kulturellen Veränderungen, die sich im Mittelalter vollzogen, und führt uns eine revolutionäre Epoche vor Augen, die von grundlegender Bedeutung für die Entwicklung der westlichen Welt war.
