I've rarely seen a popular science book that so spectacularly fails to take into account that the author's experience is not universal. I'm not talking about the lack of acknowledgement that regular walking is simply not possible for a lot of people (it is, after all, a book about walking), but pronouncements on the universal joy of walking the streets at night feels as if the author never met a woman in his life. The science is interesting and as a regular walker myself, it did cheer me up, but it reads like a checklist of pros of walking, without considering any wider implications.

Very scientific. broad-ranging and informative. This book encompasses the human life cycle and many cultural considerations in additions to planning considerations to support walking. However, I didn't find it to be as accessible as the writing of other healthcare experts, such as Dr Rangan Chatergee.

It was a little too scientific for me, but was fun to be running along to this one - literally going through the motions!
