A Walking Life: Reclaiming Our Health and Our Freedom One Step at a Time by Anto

Description: A Walking Life by Antonia Malchik Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description For readers of On Trails: an incisive, utterly engaging exploration of walking: how it is fundamental to our being human, how weve designed it out of our lives, and how it is essential that we reembrace it. Publisher Description Have you heard? Sitting is the new smoking. Were sitting longer than we ever have before: adults average nine hours of sitting a day, while children spend almost as much time sitting in front of a screen and in school. Driven by a combination of a car-centric culture and an insatiable thirst for productivity and efficiency, we have been designing walking out of our lives for nearly a hundred years--and theres an ever-growing concern and national conversation about our increasingly sedentary lifestyles. But heres the quandary--and its a big one: If bipedal walking is truly what makes our species human, as paleoanthropologists claim, what does it mean that we no longer walk as much as we used to-that we are designing walking right out of our lives? Delving into a wealth of science, history, and anecdote--from our deepest origins as hominims to our first steps as babies, to universal design and social capital, to walking as protest (from medieval England to Black Lives Matter), to our very concepts of self and community, A Walking Life shows exactly how walking is essential--to how we think, how we grow, how we socialize, how we move, and how deeply reliant our brains and bodies are on this simple pedestrian act.
