The most famous long-distance hiking trail in North America, the 2,181-mile Appalachian Trail - the longest hiking-only footpath in the world - runs along the Appalachian mountain range from Georgia to Maine. Every year about 2,000 individuals attempt to ""thru-hike"" the entire trail, a feat equivalent to hiking Mount Everest sixteen times. In Walking on the Wild Side, sociologist Kristi M. Fondren traces the stories of forty-six men and women who, for their own personal reasons, set out to conquer America's most well known, and arguably most social, long-distance hiking trail. In this fascinating in-depth study, Fondren shows how, once out on the trail, this unique subculture of hikers lives mostly in isolation, with their own way of acting, talking, and thinking; their own vocabulary; their own activities and interests; and their own conception of what is significant in life. They tend to be self-disciplined, have an unwavering trust in complete strangers, embrace a life of poverty, and reject modern-day institutions. The volume illuminates the intense social intimacy and bonding that forms among long-distance hikers as they collectively construct a long-distance hiker identity. Fondren describes how long-distance hikers develop a trail persona, underscoring how important a sense of place can be to our identity, and to our sense of who we are. Indeed, the author adds a new dimension to our understanding of the nature of identity in general. Anyone who has hiked - or has ever dreamed of hiking - the Appalachian Trail will find this volume fascinating. Walking on the Wild Side captures a community for whom the trail is a sacred place, a place to which they have become attached, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. The Sunflower Gran Canaria guide is indispensable for hiking in Gran Canaria or seeing Gran Canaria by car. For many years Gran Canaria was the most underrated of the Canary Islands among countryside enthusiasts, but with the restoration of the old trails (the so-called 'Kings' Highways'), the island has been truly 'discovered' by walkers. There's more than a month's walking in this guide to show you why! The island is often referred to as a 'continent in miniature'. If you travel across Gran Canaria by car or on foot you'll see why for yourself! From the hub of the cumbre, the island's great saddle, ravines are born and fan out seaward like spokes on a wheel, gouging enormous valleys in their wake. Between them there are magnificent barrancos (ravines). Each has its own little secret to share. In the Barranco de los Cernicalos there are knee-deep grasses and a chuckling stream; the Barranco de la Aldea hides an emerald-green reservoir; the Barranco de Guigui opens out to an incomparable beach. These are but a few of the island's breathtaking ravines... and this is only the start of what you will find when out walking in Gran Canaria. The best months for walking on Gran Canaria are October to June (for the wild flowers, foliage and freshness in the air) but, increasingly, hikers are exploring all the Canary Islands on foot in summer as well. Inside the Sunflower Gran Canaria guide book you'll find: 60 long and short walks - more than a month's walking 1:50,000 topo maps, including all the latest officially waymarked trails 6 car tours, highlighting access to all the walks en route fold-out touring map with walk locations - ideal for planning plans of Las Palmas, Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles 12 picnic suggestions - short walks and leg stretchers timetables for local transport online update service - the latest news available to the publisher This guide is part of the Landscapes Series, with 50 destinations - dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and chosen by readers of Which? as one of the four top travel guide series (from a field of 18).
