Praise for The Old&#160;Ways:&#8220;With a steady command of the literature and history of each place he visits, [Macfarlane] tries &#8216;to read landscapes back into being.&#8217; His sentences bristle with the argot of cartographers, geologists, zoologists, and botanists.&#8221; &#8212;The New Yorker&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; &#8220;Macfarlane explores the meditative aspects of being a pedestrian&#8230;not so much a travelogue as a travel meditation, it favors lush prose, colorful digressions&#8230;if you&#8217;ve ever had the experience, while walking, of an elusive thought finally coming clear or an inspiration surfacing after a long struggle, The Old Ways will speak to you &#8211; eloquently and persuasively.&#8221; &#8212;The Seattle Times&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; &#8220;A backpack of assorted expeditions charted by a writer whose poetic and scientific skills are equal to one another&#8230;there are some splendid set pieces.&#8221; &#8212;The Wall Street Journal&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; &#8220;A wonderfully meandering account of the author&#8217;s peregrinations and perambulations through England, Scotland, Spain, Palestine, and Sichuan&#8230;Macfarlane&#8217;s&#160;particular gift is his ability to bring a remarkably broad and varied range of voices to bear on his own pathways and to do so with a pleasingly impressionist yet tenderly precise style.&#8221; &#8212;Aengus Woods, themillions.com"Macfarlane seems to know and have read everything&#8230;his every sentence rewrites the landscape in language crunchy and freshly minted and deeply textured. Surely the most accomplished (and erudite) writer on place to have come along in years." &#8212;Pico Iyer"Luminous, possessing a seemingly paradoxical combination of the dream-like and the hyper-vigilant, The Old Ways is, as with all of Macfarlane's work, a magnificent read. Each sentence can carry astonishing discovery." &#8212;Rick Bass&#160;&#8220;In Macfarlane, British travel writing has a formidable new champion&#8230; Macfarlane is read above all for the beauty of his prose and his wonderfully innovative and inventive way with language&#8230;he can write exquisitely about anywhere.&#8221; &#8212;William Dalrymple, The Observer&#8220;In this intricate, sensuous, haunted book, each journey is part of other journeys and there are no clear divisions to be made&#8230;the walking of paths is, to [Macfarlane], an education, and symbolic, too, of the very process by which we learn things:&#160;testing, wandering about a bit, hitting our stride, looking ahead and behind.&#8221; &#8212;Alexandra Harris, The Guardian
