Title: Shuddup and walk!
Review: This is not so much a "History of walking", but is rather "The author thinking and talking about other people thinking and talking about walking, either their own, or someone else's".At least three levels of removal from people actual walking anywhere and seeing or doing anything. An academic's idea: armchair exercise.The book is nicely written, pleasant reading, with all sorts of learned bits and pieces. However, if you're looking for accounts of people actually walking, hiking, exploring, touring, etc., that is: actually doing something and not just cogitating about it, better look somewhere else.
