Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World is a 2021 book by Simon Winchester.

Francisco Cantú's review in The New Yorker was mixed, praising Winchester's prose.

However, Cantú noted a nostalgic tone that at times undercut the depictions of land appropriation and violence.

[2] In the Financial Times, Delphine Strauss did identify a thesis to the book: that most disputes are fundamentally about land.
