Expand your horizons(视野)with our top picks from the season's new hooks.
Wanderers
By Kerri Andrews
Think of famous walkers and it is men like William Wordsworth and John Keats who likely spring to mind. But that's only half the story: here Andrews fills in the blanks with the history of women walkers of the last 300 years, including 18th-century walker Elizabeth Carter, Anais Nin, Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed.
Writing Wild
By Kathryn Aalto
This comes with a warning: it will add many more hooks to your wish list. It celebrates 25 women writing about the outdoors, from historic people skilled in using words like Dorothy Wordsworth to contemporaries(当代人)like Camille T. Dungy. Devoted into their life and work, Aalto travels to the lands that they loved, trying to get walking and reading inspiration.
Wild Abandon
By Jennifer Barclay
If you're eager for sunny islands, this book about backpacking around the Dodecanese is for you. Many of the villages on these Greek islands now lie deserted(荒芜的)and Barclay spent over four years exploring their ruins, gathering stories from the local people for this explanation.
The Wild Silence
By Raynor Winn
Anyone who read Winn's first book, The Salt Path, about walking the South West Coast Path with her sick husband Moth, will want to know what happened next. This is that story-of finding home again on a Cornish farm. To follow Winn on her journey back to Cornwall is to know how it feels to walk yourself into the land which you love.
