"I'm going for a walk." How often has this phrase been uttered by someone with a heart full of anger or sorrow? Or as an invitation, a precursor to a declaration of love? Our species and its predecessors have been bipedal walkers for at least six million years; by now, we take this seemingly arbitrary motion for granted.

Description
"Walking and writing have always gone together. Think of the poets who walk on a rhythm for their lines and the novelists who put their characters on a path. [This volume] rounds up the most memorable walker-writers from the 1300s to the modern day, from country hikers to urban strollers, from the rationalists to the truly outlandish. All of them analyse our need to put one foot in front of the other."--Back cover.

Jason Reynolds conjures ten tales (one per block) about what happens after the dismissal...

A dog out in the wide world doesn't know how to be unhappy or out of step with what the present moment might bring. Or so author John Zeaman discovers in this compelling and powerful meditation on the simple wisdom derived from dogs and walking with them..."--Dust cover flap.
