Torbjørn Ekelund started to walk-everywhere-after an epilepsy diagnosis affected his ability to drive. The more he ventured out, the more he came to love the act of walking, and an interest in paths emerged. In this poignant, meandering book, Ekelund interweaves the literature and history of paths with his own stories from the trail. As he walks with shoes on and barefoot, through forest creeks and across urban streets, he contemplates the early tracks made by ancient snails and traces the wanderings of Romantic poets, amongst other musings. If we still "understand ourselves in relation to the landscape," Ekelund asks, then what do we lose in an era of car travel and navigation apps? And what will we gain from taking to paths once again? 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Ekelund, Torbjørn Lysebo. 650 0 Trails|vAnecdotes. 650 0 Hiking|vAnecdotes. 650 0 Walking|vAnecdotes. 650 0 Human ecology. 650 0 Electronic books. 730 0 hoopla (Digital media service) 914 MWT12982457
