A joyful ode to the enormous benefits of this most simple of activities, from one of the world's greatest explorers
Erling Kagge is a Norwegian explorer who was the first in history to reach the 'three poles' - North, South and the summit of Everest. He now lives in Oslo where he runs a publishing house. He is the author of multiple books, including Silence, which is published in 38 languages, and Walking.
A thought-proving and enjoyable book that revels in seeing
the global in the local. Erling Kagge reveals new ways to view home
and homo sapiens, and, as he travels leisurely, we grow slowly
wiser. -- Tristan Gooley, author of 'The Walker's Guide to
Outdoor Clues and Signs'
'If you are a walker this book will resonate with you, if you
have seldom or never walked this book should be compulsory
reading' -- Rosamund Young, author of 'The Secret Life of
Cows'
