A History of the World in 500 Walks Paperback – June 1, 2016

He loves this book. Very unique subject

Can’t wait for my friends to see it

This book sounded interesting, but it really only has IDEAS of places to visit and enjoy walks and then some general history of the area is given. There aren't maps for every walk, and the maps that are there are just thumbnail sketch point to point maps that generally fit the route. There are no detailed maps that would guide you on a walk. You would use this book for a bare overview and then purchase more detailed maps and information to be able to do any of the suggested walks. The biggest value of the book is that the author has corralled a large number of interesting historical walks all over the globe so if you travel anywhere, you can use one of her walks to enhance your trip.

excellent

Wow, so many great ideas of places to visit and enjoy while walking. I wish I had another lifetime to visit more of these places but will seek to do as many as I can. Would be helpful though if there was an index up front that listed all of the walks in sequence as they appear in the book.

I have many trail guide books. This is the best written one I have. Trail features are described without a lot of superfluous info. Maps are excellent. I am already making a list of places to explore from this book on my next adventure.

Absolutely amazing. When I bought the book I reckoned it would be walkable. Ain't. Even though it's fantastic and at least moves one to track around time and history.

As per the title, the book arrived with damage - see picture.
