How we walk, where we walk, why we walk tells the world who we are. Walking is a profoundly universal aspect of what makes us humans social creatures, and engaged with the world. Geoff Nicholson examines the history and traditions of walking and its role as inspiration to artists, musicians, and writers like Bob Dylan, Charles Dickens, and Buster Keaton.
