520    "In 2009, while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert 
       Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our 
       feet: How do they form? Why do some improve over time 
       while others fade? What makes us follow or strike off on 
       our own? Over the course of the next seven years, Moor 
       traveled the globe, exploring trails of all kinds, from 
       the miniscule to the massive. He learned the tricks of 
       master trail-builders, hunted down long-lost Cherokee 
       trails, and traced the origins of our road networks and 
       the Internet. In each chapter, Moor interweaves his 
       adventures with findings from science, history, philosophy,
       and nature writing--combining the nomadic joys of Peter 
       Matthiessen with the eclectic wisdom of Lewis Hyde's The 
       Gift. Throughout, Moor reveals how this single topic--the 
       oft-overlooked trail--sheds new light on a wealth of age-
       old questions: How does order emerge out of chaos? How did
       animals first crawl forth from the seas and spread across 
       continents? How has humanity's relationship with nature 
       and technology shaped the world around us? And, ultimately,
       how does each of us pick a path through life? With a 
       breathtaking arc that spans from the dawn of animal life 
       to the digital era, On Trails is a book that makes us see 
       our world, our history, our species, and our ways of life 
       anew."--
