On Trails: An Exploration
by Robert Moor Author
On Trails is a wondrous exploration of how trails help us understand the world—from invisible ant trails to hiking paths that span continents, from interstate highways to the Internet. While thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert Moor began to wonder about how the paths that lie beneath our feet form—how they evolve or erode over time, and what make us either follow a trail or forge one ourselves. After traveling the world and exploring numerous trails, Moor muses on his adventures and discoveries through his rich essays—gleaning from master trail-builders, science, history, philosophy, and nature writing—while attempting to answer a key existential question: How do each of us end up picking a path through life?
