I picked up this book thinking I would page through it and glean a few tidbits of information and return it. Instead I read it from prologue to epilogue. As a hiker of trails and a bushwacker I appreciate how this book wends its way through all sorts of different examples of trails from prehistoric traces of trails left by blobs of living material to hikes taken through congested, polluted cityscapes, and inner trails of neurons and memories. All of it tied together with research and 'feet on' experience. The whole book felt like a wandering toward a nebulous destination with lots of side explorations and getting lost, then re-finding the trail and continuing. While reading it I kept bumping into thoughts and ideas I have had in my own inner wanderings as well as on physical trails.
