This book will help you notice more on your walks submitted by ajh on July 9, 2023, 9:55am Very nice mix of narrative and science communication. Reminds me very much of John McPhee's writing. It's going to help me be more "present" and "noticing" when walking or hiking - not just trying to get from point A to point B
