Publisher's Summary Drawing together many histories - of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores - Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers. She profiles some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction - from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton's Nadja - finding a profound relationship between walking and thinking and walking and culture. Solnit argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in our ever more car-dependent and accelerated world. ©2000 Rebecca Solnit (P)2014 Audible Inc.

I enjoyed the vastness of examples that were found in the book. At times, it felt like there was too much of nothing. Meaning, this book might have a greater impact if it were 40% of its size. Sometimes I was wondering why I was presented with certain information before connecting it to the nucleus message of the book. I found a great amount of jewels while reading this book. This book has only inspired me to look deeper into the practice of walking in nature.
This book is packed with historical facts. I happened to listen to it while taking my morning walks and I feel that greatly impacted the way I received the information. I recommend this book to anyone especially those looking for a listen while they walk, especially if you enjoy walking outdoors.
