Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers. She profiles some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction-from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton's Nadja-finding a profound relationship between walking and thinking and walking and culture. Solnit argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in our ever more car-dependent and accelerated world.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Good E-Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47584573489426,"sku":"","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/1009\/1026\/files\/Wanderlust.jpg?v=1701237200"},{"product_id":"hope-in-the-dark","title":"Hope In The Dark","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracing a history of activism and social change over the past decades - including the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Zapatista uprising in Mexico to Seattle in 1999, and the worldwide marches against the war in Iraq, this title proposes a vision of cause-and-effect relations that provides grounds for political engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith Hope in the Dark, Rebecca Solnit makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argues that radicals have a long, neglected history of transformative victories, that the positive consequences of our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable, and that pessimism and despair rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is going to happen next.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Good E-Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47584576012562,"sku":"","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/1009\/1026\/files\/HopeInTheDark.jpg?v=1701237319"},{"product_id":"call-them-by-their-true-names","title":"Call Them by Their True Names","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNational Book Award Longlist Winner of the Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction Winner of the Foreword INDIE Editor's Choice Prize for Nonfiction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Rebecca Solnit is essential feminist reading.\" --The New Republic\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Solnit's exquisite essays move between the political and the personal, the intellectual and the earthy.\" --Elle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books, including the international bestseller Men Explain Things to Me.
