Wo wir gehen

Why do we prefer established paths over beaten tracks when in doubt? Why do ants seemingly find their way effortlessly through unfamiliar terrain? And why did living beings start to move from one place to another at all? As Robert Moor hiked along the Appalachian Trail, staring at the endless miles of path before him, he became increasingly driven by the question of why there are such things as paths and how they come into existence. He traveled around the globe for seven years, traversing both major routes and narrow Cherokee trails, exposing himself to the wilderness. He insightfully connects his own experiences with findings from science, history, and philosophy. An inspiring narrative nonfiction book, a wonderful piece of nature writing, a discovery! This book leaves you different than when you entered.
