Talking the Walk & Walking the Talk by Marc Shell
This book argues that we should regard walking and talking in a single rhythmic vision. In doing so, it contributes to the theory of prosody, our understanding of respiration and looking, and, in sum, to the particular links, across the board, between the human characteristics of bipedal walking and meaningful talk.
A few paragraphs of Marc Shell, dip in where you will, and you know you're in the presence of one of the profession's small handful of eccentric polymaths and geniuses-- -Paul Fry Yale University
