The Old Ways<br />
A Journey on Foot<br />
Robert Macfarlane<br />
In this exquisitely written book, which folds together natural<br />
history, cartography, geology, and literature, Robert Macfarlane<br />
sets off to follow the ancient routes that crisscross both the landscape<br />
of the British Isles and its waters and territories beyond.<br />
The result is an immersive, enthralling exploration of the voices<br />
that haunt old paths and the stories our tracks tell. Macfarlane’s<br />
journeys take him from the chalk downs of England to the bird<br />
islands of the Scottish northwest, from Palestine to the sacred<br />
landscapes of Spain and the Himalayas. He matches strides with<br />
the footprints made by a man five thousand years ago near Liverpool,<br />
sails an open boat far out into the Atlantic at night, and<br />
commingles with walkers of many kinds, discovering that paths<br />
offer a means not just of traversing space but also of feeling,<br />
knowing, and thinking.<br />
n The Old Ways spent 12 weeks on the Sunday Times (London)<br />
bestseller list and was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize<br />
and the Waterstone’s Book of the Year Prize<br />
n Robert Macfarlane’s previous books, Mountains of the Mind and<br />
The Wild Places, were New York Times Notable Books<br />
