The earlier forays are peaceful affairs, allowing our guide to meditate at length on the character of his native land, a terrain of olive trees on terraced hillsides, luxuriant valleys carved by sacred springs, carpets of wild iris and hyacinth and ancient monasteries built more than a thousand years ago. But latterly, as seemingly endless concrete is poured to build settlements and their surrounding walls, he finds the old trails are now impassable and the countryside he once traversed freely has become contested ground. He is harassed by Israeli border patrols, watches in terror as a young hiking companion picks up an unexploded missile and even, on one occasion when accompanied by his wife, comes under prolonged gunfire.","brand":"Scribner Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42818553053264,"sku":"9781416569664B","price":9.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781416569664-l.jpg?v=1785872267"},{"product_id":"eat-run-my-unlikely-journey-to-ultramarathon-greatness-9780544002319b","title":"Eat \u0026 Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness","description":"For nearly two decades, Scott Jurek has been a dominant force - and darling - in the grueling and growing sport of ultrarunning.

Or as an invitation, a precursor to a declaration of love? Our species and its predecessors have been bipedal walkers for at least six million years; by now, we take this seemingly arbitrary motion for granted. Yet how many of us still really walk in our everyday lives?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDriven by a combination of a car-centric culture and an insatiable thirst for productivity and efficiency, we're spending more time sedentary and alone than we ever have before. If bipedal walking is truly what makes our species human, as paleoanthropologists claim, what does it mean that we are designing walking right out of our lives? Antonia Malchik asks essential questions at the center of humanity's evolution and social structures: Who gets to walk, and where? How did we lose the right to walk, and what implications does that have for the strength of our communities, the future of democracy, and the pervasive loneliness of individual lives? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe loss of walking as an individual and a community act has the potential to destroy our deepest spiritual connections, our democratic society, our neighborhoods, and our freedom. But we can change the course of our mobility. And we need to. Delving into a wealth of science, history, and anecdote, from our deepest origins as hominins to our first steps as babies, to universal design and social infrastructure, A Walking Life shows exactly how walking is essential, and how deeply reliant our brains and bodies are on this simple pedestrian act - and how we can reclaim it.","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42819364487248,"sku":"9780738220161B","price":13.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780738220161-l.jpg?v=1785875607"},{"product_id":"walk-yourself-well-step-into-a-healthier-happier-you-9780593964569b","title":"Walk Yourself Well: Step Into a Healthier, Happier You","description":"\u003cb\u003eIf you thrive on hitting your daily step count, this book is for you.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWalk Yourself Well\u003c\/i\u003e, walking expert Nina Barough will teach you how to make the most out of every step – from mastering your technique and setting your pace to walking in different climates and terrains.

Selling the shoes from the trunk of his Plymouth Valiant, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year, 1963. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start-ups, Knight’s Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is more than a logo. A symbol of grace and greatness, it’s one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. Now, in a memoir that’s surprising, humble, unfiltered, funny, and beautifully crafted, he tells his story at last. It all begins with a classic crossroads moment. Twenty-four years old, backpacking through Asia and Europe and Africa, wrestling with life’s Great Questions, Knight decides the unconventional path is the only one for him. Rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, something new, dynamic, different. Knight details the many terrifying risks he encountered along the way, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors, the countless doubters and haters and hostile bankers - as well as his many thrilling triumphs and narrow escapes. Above all, he recalls the foundational relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swoosh-crazed brothers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the redemptive, transformative power of sports, they created a brand, and a culture, that changed everything.","brand":"Scribner Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42872049401936,"sku":"9781501135910B","price":14.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781501135910-l.jpg?v=1785876160"},{"product_id":"between-the-chalk-and-the-sea-a-journey-on-foot-into-the-pas-9781472280275b","title":"Between the Chalk and the Sea: A Journey on Foot Into the Past","description":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAn old map. A lost pilgrimage route. A journey in search of our walking heritage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Henry VIII banned pilgrimage in 1538, he ended not only a centuries-old tradition of walking as an act of faith, but a valuable chance to discover the joy of walking as an escape from the burdens of everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch was lost when these journeys faded from our collective memory, but clues to our past remain. On an antique map in Oxford's Bodleian Library, a faint red line threading through towns and villages between Southampton and Canterbury suggests a significant, though long-forgotten, road. Renamed the Old Way, medieval pilgrims are thought to have travelled this route to reach the celebrated shrine of Thomas Becket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDescribed as England's Camino, this long-distance footpath carves through one of the nation's most iconic landscapes - one that links prehistoric earthworks, abandoned monasteries, Saxon churches, ruined castles and historic seaports.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver four seasons, travel writer Gail Simmons walks the Old Way to rediscover what a long journey on foot offers us today. In the age of the car, what does it mean to embrace 'slow travel'? Why does being a woman walking alone still feel like a radical act? In an age when walking connects the nation, can we now reclaim pilgrimage as a secular act?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinding 250 miles between the chalk hills and shifting seascapes of the south coast, Gail ventures deep into our past, exploring this lost path and telling a story of kings and knights, peasants and pilgrims, of ancient folklore and modern politics. Blending history, anthropology, etymology and geology, Gail's walk along the Old Way reveals the rich natural and cultural heritage found on our own doorstep.","brand":"Headline","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42819527704656,"sku":"9781472280275B","price":13.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781472280275-l.jpg?v=1785876287"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/collections\/running-and-walking.oembed?page=10","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
