Note
Summary: "The work examines the contemplative, psychological and observational qualities of walking. During the 1970s fitness boom, walking was reinvented yet again, becoming an activity of numbers and equations as participants fought to maximize health benefits. The book concludes with a legal analysis of pedestrianism as it relates to sharing space with the automobile" -- Provided by publisher
