Book Synopsis
Sauntering is a way of being and moving about in wild places through which a person recognizes the land as holy and discovers themselves as part of it. In the wild places they frequented, American Nature Writers Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, Enos Mills, Edward Abbey, and Jane Goodall encountered mystery, connection to something bigger than themselves, peace they could not fully articulate, and experiences that transformed them. This book presents their sauntering methods in an organized fashion so that hikers, adventurers, birders, and other outdoor enthusiasts of every kind who are hungry for deeper connection with nature can, with greater regularity, discover themselves as part and parcel of nature.
