			        		&quot;Reading this wise, soulful book by Antonia Malchik feels like treating your&#xAD;self to a good walk. By the end, you&apos;re thinking more clearly, you&apos;ve had some unexpected insights, and you&apos;re really glad you took the time to do it.&quot;&#x2015;Alan Weisman, author of the New York Times bestseller The World Without Us and Countdown &quot;Antonia Malchik&apos;s walkabout reconnects us to what it means to be human -- finding community, citizenship, creativity, mental and physical health, and ultimately, freedom -- through the perambulation that distinguishes us from other creatures. This is an important book for our time: we must reincorporate walking in the fabric of our environments if we are to remain resilient to the challenges that face us.&quot;&#x2015;Wade Graham, author of Dream Cities: Seven Urban Ideas That Shape the World &quot;This charming and poignant book really brings home what it means to walk. Look no further for evidence of what we have forsaken by allowing so much of our country and planet to be reshaped, no longer around the human stride, but around the demands of a two-ton steel carapace that, for only 20 percent of our income, grants us obesity, asthma, daily carnage, unending traffic, and climate change.&quot;&#x2015;Jeff Speck, city planner and author Walkable City Rules &quot;The overall message is eye-opening, revealing the somber reality of our car-centric world but also inspiring a desire to reconnect with our primeval desire to wander on our own two feet.&quot;&#x2015;Booklist
