IN THE SPIRIT OF UNDYING ADVENTURE! Sauntering through natural landscapes is a noble art; and one that Henry David Thoreau held in the highest regard. Though he is perhaps best known for Walden: Life in the Woods and his essay "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau was an early advocate of recreational hiking, canoeing, and conserving natural resources. A passionate nature writer, he penned many articles that shared these philosophies and perspectives. This carefully restored re-creation of the 1863 essay collection Excursions features the nine original essays that were published posthumously: "Natural History of Massachusetts" "A Walk to Wachusett" "The Landlord" "A Winter Walk" "The Succession of Forest Trees" "Walking" "Autumnal Tints" "Wild Apples" "Night and Moonlight" This revised special edition also includes the original detailed biographical sketch of Thoreau by fellow transcendentalist and friend Ralph Waldo Emerson. Featuring a brand-new foreword by J.F. Penn, best-selling author of PILGRIMAGE: Lessons Learned from Walking Three Ancient Ways, and a fresh introduction from editor Mark Leslie. ______ "In these ever more fast-moving times, as the constant noise of media in every form buffets us, and bad news from across the world shakes our sense of well-being daily, we can find truth in Thoreau's words that 'in society you will not find health, but in nature.'" - J.F. Penn

In the book "Of Walks and Walking Tours: An Attempt to find a Philosophy and a Creed," Arnold Haultain shares his love and skill for walking. His walks are not short or easy in common sense. Today, we call them treks or hikes. But, in his terms, a 40-mile outing is a regular walk. The author gives tips on picking the proper clothing or packing the food for a walk. Other chapters include notes on the spirituality of nature, practical transcendentalism, the mood for walking, evening meditations, and the instinct for walking.

Nice written by John Underwood and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-03-15 with France categories.
This pocket-sized full-color guide to walking in Nice and the Cte d'Azur is designed for short-break walking holidays using the excellent public transport services. Nice is easily and inexpensively reached by several budget airlines, and the climate makes for brilliant walking and excursions all year round. Besides Nice itself, the book describes walks and excursions in the most beautiful coastal and inland areas easily reached by public transport - from the Esterel in the west to Cap Martin in the east, and from the coast north to the Alps. Note: All of the 12 walking routes in this book are included in the same authors' Landscapes of eastern Provence (which has 36 walks), so do use the Look Inside' facility to compare coverage in the two guide books. Even non-walkers will appreciate the large-scale plan of Nice centre, descriptions of the sights, and recommendations for restaurants in Nice and places like Cap Ferrat, La Turbie, Menton, Thoule-sur-Mer. For each suggested restaurant there is a photograph of the dcor and one of their dishes, sample menu, price guide, opening times, and a recipe for one of their specialties. Other sections include: planning your trip, logistics on arrival, local markets and specialties, glossary of local food terms, and a restaurant mini-vocabulary. A special feature is the emphasis on natural local foods suitable for those with food intolerances. All recipes have been made by the authors and are known to work. 12 walks and 2 fairly long excursions (1 by train and 1 by bus), with walks from each; plan of Nice; area map; large-scale (1:35,000) topo maps for the countryside walks. Free online update service with specific route change information on Sunflower Books website, maintained daily.

Puglia is a developing tourist area in Southern Italy that is beginning to attract tourists to its varied charms. No longer just a terminus for departing to other destinations it is becoming appreciated for its own attractions. Originally a humble farming region Puglia has been influence by Greeks, Romans, Normans and Byzantines who each made an impact on the landscape by building ports, churches and other magnificent buildings. This book aims to give the tourist an opportunity to visit and enjoy not only the few major attractions that a guided tour usually includes but many of the other interesting sights that many people do not see. By providing five different walking routes and detailed information about each attraction passed it puts a visitor to Puglia in charge of the time spent at any particular place rather than having to rush and keep up with a guide or join costly tours. The tours will enable you to experience the variety and atmosphere of some contrasting destinations in Puglia. You will be surprised to discover the rich historical monuments of Brindisi and astounded by the Baroque architecture of Lecce; you'll marvel at the unique construction of the Trulli of Alberobello and be transported back in time when exploring the Sassi of Matera.

PREFACEThe writing of this little book has given me a great deal of pleasure. That is why I hope that, here and there, it may give pleasure to others.And yet it was not an easy task. Nature's lessons are hard to learn. Harder still is it to translate Nature's lessons to others. Besides, the appeal of Nature is to the Emotions; and words are weak things (save in the hands of a great Poet) by which to convey or to evoke emotion. Words seem to be the vehicles rather of ratiocination than of emotion. Is not even the Poet driven to link words to music? And always le mot juste, the exact word, is so difficult to find! Yet found it must be if the appeal is to avail.If, in these pages, there are scattered speculations semi-mystical, semi-intelligible, perhaps even transcending the boundaries of rigid logic, I must simply aver that I put in writing that only which was given me to say. How or whence it came, I do not know.--And this, notwithstanding (or, perhaps, in a way, corroborative of) my own belief that no thought is autogenous, but has parents and a pedigree.I have tried, quite humbly, to follow, as motto, the sentence chosen from Spinoza. Yet, with that sentence always should be read this other, taken from Pascal: "La dernière démarche de la raison, c'est de reconnaître qu'il y a une infinité de choses qui la surpassent."--Always emotion, imagination, feeling, faith, try to soar above reason; and always they feel the inadequacy of words.I have incorporated in this book some parts of my "Two Country Walks in Canada"--now long out of print (itself comprising an article from The Nineteenth Century and another from Blackwood's); also (with the permission of the editor) an article in The Atlantic Monthly Magazine; and Sections 22 and 23 first appeared in The Canadian Magazine.Geneva, 1914.CONTENTSCHAPTERPAGEI.Golf and Walking1II.The Essence of a Walk5III.Notable Walkers9IV.My Earliest Walks15V.India17VI.English Byways21VII.A Spring Morning in England25VIII.Autumn Reveries29IX.Spirituality of Nature34X.Practical Transcendentalism40XI.Spring in Canada45XII.Autumn in Canada53XIII.Winter in Canada59XIV.The Mood for Walking72XV.Evening Meditations78XVI.The Unity of Nature91XVII.Instinct for Walking103XVIII.A Woeful Walk105XIX.Autumn in Canada again107XX.The Walking Tour133XXI.The Tramp's Dietary140XXII.Practical Details152XXIII.The Beauty of Landscape159XXIV.Warnings to the Over-Zealous180XXV.How that all points to the Infinite188XXVI.The Pleasures of Walking198XXVII.Is Walking Selfish?216XXVIII.The Pæan of Being223 Index227
