Walking, rambling and exploring places and lands at your own speed is an act of absolute freedom. It is an automatic and typically human gesture that, today, has become almost an act of transgression that is open to the multiple intentions of the wayfarer. In the pages of the ten books presented here, the authors look at this subject from various angles, but with a common intent to assert that walking is a powerful generator of thought.
