'In Praise of Walking'

In Praise of Walking | Book Review

‘What is it that makes us human? What quality is it that makes us different to all other living creatures?’ asks Shane O’Mara, (the author) and then proceeds to give us an answer - 

‘our ability to walk, and especially to walk upright on our two feet, an adaptation known as ‘bipedalism’, freeing our hands for other tasks…’ is one unique quality that makes us human, he says!

In the book, Shane talks about the ‘mechanical magic’ of walking, to understanding how walking can set our thoughts free, all the way to the most social aspects of walking!

‘I want to show in this book how imperative it is that we start walking again. Our brains and our bodies will be the better for it…’ says Shane.
