520    "An ode to paths and the journeys we take through nature, 
       as told by a gifted writer who stopped driving and 
       rediscovered the joys of traveling by foot. 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?" --|cProvided by publisher.
