Human beings evolved to stand upright and walk on two feet. "Unfortunately," modern life has removed much of our need to walk. Although we have benefited considerably from these technological "advances," we have suffered considerably from them as well - not only from the standpoint of personal health but also the health of our communities and society as a whole. This thought-provoking book calls for the restoration of a "walkable" environment as a starting point for addressing these pressing issues.
