|genre=Travel Science Fiction|summary= Alastair Humphreys has walked and cycled all over the worldThere are few greater joys than a book which lives up to a compelling premise. And then written about it. For this book he walked and cycled very close to home and then wrote about it. As he says in his introduction, the book is an attempt ''to share what I have learnt about some big issues from a year exploring a small map. Nature loss, pollution, land use and access, agriculture, the food system, rewilding…'' One of the joys of the book for me was that the biggest thing he learned about all one of these things was that there are no easy answers, no single 'right or wrong', that every upside is likely to have a downside for somebody and that there are some hard choices aheadthem.|isbn=17856336780356522776
