From Argentina to Australia and from Mesopotamia to Mongolia, just about every country\nwith hills and meadows has adopted and then developed sheep farming as a way of living. And in Wales in\nparticular, sheep played a central role in shaping landscape and culture.\nSheeplands outlines the journeys taken by some of these sheep as they voyaged across the world, both by\nthemselves and with human shepherds, from the earliest human settlements to the present day. Along the way,\nAlan Marshall paints vivid portraits of the roles sheep have played in the development of the modern world, in\ntimes of peace and war, and describes how our sheeplands might continue to influence Wales and the wider\nworld in future years.","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351252779244,"sku":"9781915279392","price":43.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3f6a8baef268510a5dae0ecdae11dd2a.jpg?v=1772537784"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/alan-marshall.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
