Book blends hiking, science, and history

Robert Moor's "On Trails: An Exploration" offers more than just a narrative of a long-distance hike. While it begins with Moor's decision to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail, the book delves deeply into the intersection of hiking, scientific inquiry, and historical context. It explores the profound connection between humanity and trails, examining how these paths have shaped our understanding of the natural world and our place within it. The work is a rich tapestry weaving personal experience with broader intellectual exploration, appealing to readers interested in nature, science, and the human story.
