06.10.2022
Former RCC fellow Thomas Zeller’s book Consuming Landscapes: What We See When We Drive and Why It Matters was published by Johns Hopkins University Press. Consuming Landscapes explores how ways of perceiving the nonhuman world while driving a car changed throughout history. Looking at two case studies, the Blue Ridge Parkway in the US and the Alpine Road in Germany, the book narrates the different meanings of infrastructure in the early days of the automobile and in the following decades, marked by an increasing number of cars and roads.
The book is available both as a printed book and in an open-access version. View the open-access version here.
