Globetrotting

"In Globetrotting, Duncan Minshull, the UK's 'laureate of walking,' brings together the work of more than fifty walker-writers who have traveled the world's seven continents by foot. From the 1500s to the present day comes a memorable band of explorers and adventurers, scientists and missionaries, pleasure-seekers and literary drifters recalling their experiences and asking themselves a compelling question -- why travel this way in the first place?"
