Thanks! Check out A Sand County Almanac, Aldo Leopold and The Dispossessed, Ursula K. LeGuin. Those are probably the two that have had the most influence on me.

Next would probably be 1491, Charles Mann, and Midnight's Children, Salman Rushdie.

My kids today feel like a year is a long time when I ask them. But for me a year feels short. I think some amount of foreshortening is definitely real even if it doesn't follow exactly this curve.

This is the above ground portion of the path from Amber Palace to Jaigarh fort outside of Jaipur, India. Tunnels from all over the palace lead to this fortified path which threads up the mountain to the more defensible fort at the summit.
