On Looking by Alexandra Horowitz
Not the book I thought. The book I wanted was a field guide to becoming a better observer whilst walking, a summary of techniques to be more attentive and get more out of walks.
Instead of getting the book I actually wanted, I got a book comprised of essays detailing Horowitz’s walks with various experts. Two of said experts were her son, and her dog. It was an interesting read, but not what I hoped for, not what I wanted and ultimately not as helpful or intriguing as I’d expected.
I vastly prefer her “Inside Of A Dog” to “On Looking”, both as an educational book, and as a reading experience. ★★★☆☆
