Krátky popis
A strikingly original debut from a tremendous new talent, Robert
Moor explores how trails help us understand the world, from the
biological phenomenon of how ant trails are formed to hiking paths
that span continents and oceans, from migration routes to the
Internet. In 2009, while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert
Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our feet:
'How do they form? Why do some improve over time while others
devolve? What makes us follow or strike off on our own?'.Over the
course of the next seven years, Moor travelled the globe, exploring
trails of all kinds, from the miniscule to the massive. He learned
the tricks of master trail-builders, hunted down long-lost Cherokee
trails, and traced the origins of our road networks and the
Internet. In each chapter, Moor interweaves his adventures with
findings from science, history, philosophy, and nature writing.
This deep search for meaning introduces the reader to experts who
work with trails of all kind, outrageous anecdotes from his own
experiences and spectacular descriptions of landscapes and animal
behavior.&,nbsp,On Trails&,nbsp,gives an eye-opening tour,
leaving us with a much richer, prismatic take on what we constantly
take for granted: how we get where we're going.
