The acclaimed author of The Wild Places and Underland examines the
subtle ways we are shaped by the landscapes through which we move
Chosen by Slate as one of the 50 best nonfiction books of the past
25 years In this exquisitely written book, which folds together
natural history, cartography, geology, and literature, Robert
Macfarlane sets off to follow the ancient routes that crisscross
both the landscape of the British Isles and its waters and
territories beyond. The result is an immersive, enthralling
exploration of the voices that haunt old paths and the stories our
tracks tell. Macfarlane's journeys take him from the chalk downs of
England to the bird islands of the Scottish northwest, from
Palestine to the sacred landscapes of Spain and the Himalayas. He
matches strides with the footprints made by a man five thousand
years ago near Liverpool, sails an open boat far out into the
Atlantic at night, and commingles with walkers of many kinds,
discovering that paths offer a means not just of traversing space
but also of feeling, knowing, and thinking.
