Title: Exactly what is "wrong" with our concepts of nature.
Product review: Bryson attempts to be funny, but this book is more pathetic than humorous. As a long-distance hiker myself (did the entire AT several years ago), I found it sad that his ill-conceived attempt at hiking the whole trail (he does not nearly finish) is strewn with stories of trash he left trailside or in camp, and exactly what not to do in preparing for or conducting oneself on such an "adventure". There are much more high-quality books on the topic, such as Shaffer's "Walking with Spring", Deed's "There are Mountains to Climb", and others. Also, if you are looking for stupidity or humor in the backwoods, you can certainly find better, 'though this does fit the catagory.
