Summary:

How we see and experience the landscape is strongly influenced by map makers. What is not on the map does not officially exist, while stories, experiences, events, light, sound, color, and scent are decisive for an area or landscape and give it its own character and meaning. The ancient Greeks called "chora" the "felt meaning" from a prominent place. In 'Paradise in the polder' explorer Arita Baaijens explores the chora of the Dutch landscape with the reader. What does the landscape release, what remains hidden, and why? The journey ends with creating deep maps: innovative maps showing the results of this search in a special way. An optimistic and playful workbook with serious ambitions. The author stretches your mind with dozens of exercises, that encourage you to make contact with Dutch landscape. Our senses are the most important tools in this. She also shows what deep maps are, how you make them, and what they tell about a place. The author encourages you to go on a voyage of discovery in your own country.
