A hymn to walking the mechanical magic at the core of our humanity.Walking upright on two feet is a uniquely human skill. It enabled us to migrate out of Africa and to spread as far as Alaska and Australia. Every day we put one foot in front of the other?yet how many of us know how we do that or appreciate the advantages it gives us?Neuroscientist Shane OMara invitesA hymn to walking the mechanical magic at the core of our humanity.Walking upright on two feet is a uniquely human skill. It enabled us to migrate out of Africa and to spread as far as Alaska and Australia. Every day we put one foot in front of the other?yet how many of us know how we do that or appreciate the advantages it gives us?Neuroscientist Shane OMara invites us to marvel at the benefits walking confers on our bodies and brains. From walkings evolutionary origins traced back millions of years to life forms on the ocean floor to new findings from cutting- edge research he reveals how the brain and nervous system give us the ability to balance weave through a crowded city and run our ?inner GPS? system. Walking in turn spurs our imaginations and boosts our moods. In Praise of Walking illuminates the joys health benefits and mechanics of walking?and reminds us to get out of our chairs and discover a happier healthier more creative self.(less)
