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 />
