Ed Stafford havde sat et år af til at gå hele vejen langs Amazonfloden fra dens udspring i Peru til Atlanterhavets kyst - som det første menneske nogensinde. Det kom til at tage meget længere - 860 dage, for at være helt præcis, ikke underligt med alle de vanvittige ting, han kom ud for undervejs: Han blev anklaget for mord, truet på livet, blev jagtet af stammefolk med macheter og var øjenvidne til den brutale skovrydning, der truer Amazonas.

As a personal and professional crossroads, writer, editor, and obsessive walker, Dan Rubinstein travelled throughout the US, UK, and Canada to walk with people who saw the act not only as a form of transportation and recreation, but also as a path to a better world. There are no magic-bullet solutions to modern epidemics like obesity, anxiety, alienation, and climate change. But what if there is a simple way to take a step in the right direction? Combining fascinating reportage, eye-opening research, and Rubinstein’s own discoveries, Born to Walk explores how far this ancient habit can take us.

Even the most casual walker can step out the door of a luxury hotel onto a palm-lined beach to search for conch shells and hermit crabs, pass through the center of a busy and historically-rich port town, then enter a cactus and boulder-strewn landscape. From there, you can walk among stalks of sugarcane, or up the slopes of a lush volcanic mountain to discover crashing waterfalls and thousands of tropical flowers. All of these delights can be experienced in less than an hour's walk from major towns and tourist spots.
