"[P]erfect for the armchair walker....The loping pace of this book, comparable to the act of walking itself, invites time for trivia, and there is a lot in these pages."
D. T. Max, New York Times Book Review, 12/14/2008
Review:"A quirky miscellany with which anyone can pass several pleasant hours..."

The Lost Art of Walking: The History, Science, and Literature of Pedestrianism (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781594484032) Nicholson, Geoff Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Riverhead Books, United States, 2009. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 210 x 141 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. How we walk, where we walk, why we walk tells the world who and what we are. Whether it's once a day to the car, or for long weekend hikes, or as competition, or as art, walking is a profoundly universal aspect of what makes us humans, social creatures, and engaged with the world. Cultural commentator Geoff Nicholson offers his fascinating, definitive, and personal ruminations on the history, science, philosophy, art, and literature of walking. Nicholson finds people who walk only at night, or naked, or in the shape of a cross or a circle, or for thousands of miles at a time, in costume, for causes, or for no reason whatsoever. He examines the history and traditions of walking and its role as inspiration to artists, musicians, and writers like Bob Dylan, Charles Dickens, and Buster Keaton. In "The Lost Art of Walking," he brings curiosity, imagination, and genuine insight to a subject that often strides, shuffles, struts, or lopes right by us.
