文化史學傢寫作都這麼隨意且鬆弛的嗎?收獲還是挺大的
評分嗯,看似雜史,卻講述瞭人類的文化、曆史、城市、花園,與行走模式變化的關聯。比如,作者會提到華茲華斯之後,西方人對於徒步探秘的興趣,書中也會提到2000年前,羅馬人每天會花幾個小時行走,如何在鼕日靠著行走捱過寒冷。當然,會講到街道的誕生,以及人行道的演化。推薦給城市規劃、交通工程的學生閱讀,建築學的人要有閑情和心情,纔可以讀這種比較緩慢的書。

"A thought-provoking survey across time and space. . . . Pick up On Foot and carry it home. It will renew your appreciation for the pedestrian in your own flesh."—
Cleveland Plain Dealer
"An in-depth examination. - Forecast
A rambling pleasure--leisurely placed and full of interesting cul-de-sacs--pleasantly garrulous and filled with the anecdotes of small details aptly observed. - Star Tribune
On Foot is an expansive and illuminating field trip, complete with rest stops for little-known facts about an everyday activity many of us take for granted. - Minnesota History
An enlighening compelling read...a well-researched, well written piece of work. - TCM Reviews
This is a fascinating book, extremely knowledgeable and ambitious, thought provoking in the best sense. Simply put: a very imaginative presentation and, someone has to say it, not at all pedestrian. - Peter Stearns, author of Anxious Parents
Product Description
"I have met with but one or two persons in the course of my life who understand the art of Walking, that is, of taking walks, who had a genius, so to speak, for sauntering."
— Henry David Thoreau (1817—1862)
" Everything is within walking distance if you have the time."
—Stephen Wright (1955—)
For approximately six million years, humans have walked the earth. This is the story of how, why, and to what effect we put one foot in front of the other.
Walking has been the primary mode of locomotion for humans until very recent times when we began to sit and ride-first on horses and in carriages, then trains and bicycles, and finally cars, trucks, buses, and airplanes-rather than go on foot. The particular way we saunter, clomp, meander, shuffle, plod along, jaunt, tramp, and wander on foot conveys a wealth of information about our identity, condition, and destination.
In this fast-stepping social history, Joseph A. Amato takes us on a journey of walking-from the first human migrations to marching Roman legions and ancient Greeks who considered man a "featherless biped"; from trekking medieval pilgrims to strolling courtiers; from urban pavement pounders to ambling window shoppers to suburban mall walkers.
Concentrating on walking in Europe and North America and with particular focus on how walking differed according to social class, Amato distinguishes how, where, when, who, what, and under which conditions people moved on foot. He identifies crucial transformations in the history of walking, including the adoption of the horse by the mounted warrior; the rise of public display among European nobility; and the building of roads and transportation systems, which led to the inevitable ascent of the wheel over the foot.
