Robert MacFarlane, The Old Ways
For Robert MacFarlane, the lines between geography, history, and culture have a way of blurring. The Old Ways finds him traveling through a number of landscapes on foot, both within England and further afield. His observations on how landscapes shape people, and how both evolve over time, are often revelatory. And if The Old Ways leaves you impressed, it is neither the first time nor the last in which he’s covered this subject: 2007’s The Wild Places is also highly recommended, and his Landmarks will be released in the United States in the summer of 2016.
