Over the course of seven years, Moor travelled the globe, hiking from the Appalachians to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. He tracked down the world's oldest trails, learned the tricks of master trail-builders and deer-hunters, visited elephant sanctuaries and tried his hand at herding sheep. In each chapter, he combines a new adventure with a range of research, reaching into history, philosophy, science, psychology, and nature writing. Bit by bit, he shows how, by understanding the ways trails work, we can shed new light on age-old questions about how we live our lives.
