How sheep shaped the landscape and culture of Wales and beyond.

Human civilization was not just created by humans: we had the help of many creatures, foremost among them sheep. From Argentina to Australia and from Mesopotamia to Mongolia, just about every country with hills and meadows has adopted and then developed sheep farming as a way of living.

Sheeplands outlines the journeys taken by some of these sheep as they voyaged across the world, both by themselves and with human shepherds, from the earliest human settlements to the present day. Along the way, Alan Marshall paints vivid portraits of the roles sheep have played in the development of the modern world, in times of peace and war, and describes how sheeplands might continue to influence Wales and the wider world in future years.
