| The Humanities in New England |
The Land Rover life incorporates the enduring ideas of the world. The insights that the humanities - literature, history, cultural studies, religion, philosophy, art - bring to us daily enrich our lives.
A Land Rover has been a partner in Maine's statewide growth of the humanities, as you can read here.
