52 Ways to Walk by Annabel Streets
An inspiring and informative handbook that presents 52 different ways to walk, one for each week of the year.
Full of clearly presented science, nuggets of history and infectious enthusiasm for being out in the world and simply walking as a way of tackling so many of our ills.. The ideal companion for an afternoon’s urban ramble -- Anna Fielding * Observer *
The Queen of walking * Robert Elms, BBC Radio London *
We might think we know everything we need to about walking but there is always more to discover. This book is about how walking is connected both to old wisdom and new scientific frontiers of discovery … If you’re not a habitual walker this book will give you good reasons why you should get started and, if you are experienced, ways to keep it fresh … Fascinating * Lauren Laverne *
We can all learn something from 52 Ways to Walk. I know I can * Michael Ball, Radio 2 *
The most amazing book * Penny Smith, Scala Radio *
A delightful balance of ideas, inspiration and science. The short punchy chapters fit well between walks and make them even more enjoyable * Tristan Gooley, author of The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues & Signs *
Urges readers to put on walking shoes, offering a weekly, new perspective on walking, no matter where you live * Irish Independent *
Walking adds greatly to our lives, and this insightful and wise book adds greatly to our walking. Page after page, it's a pleasure to follow in the author's footsteps * Duncan Minshull, editor of Sauntering and Where My Feet Fall *
Streets carefully breaks down the psychological and physical benefits of [walking], and makes a solid case that getting some movement in outside can help one “appreciate the exquisitely complicated and beautiful world we inhabit.” Readers ready to hit the pavement will find plenty of inspiration and information here * Publishers Weekly *
Spiritual, educational, and informative * Booklist *
Annabel Streets delves into the science and romanticism of walking and explores the good things that can happen with this one small act * Reader's Digest *
