On Looking: A Walker's Guide to the Art of Observation Horowitz Alexandra Paperback
From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Inside of a Dog, this "elegant and entertaining" (The Boston Globe) explanation of how humans perceive their environments "does more than open our eyes...opens our hearts and minds, too, gently awakening us to a world--in fact, many worlds--we've been missing" (USA TODAY).Alexandra Horowitz shows us how to see the spectacle of the ordinary--to practice, as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle put it, "the observation of trifles." Structured around a series of eleven walks the author takes, mostly in her Manhattan neighborhood, On Looking features experts on a diverse range of subjects, including an urban sociologist, the well-known artist Maira Kalman, a geologist, a physician, and a sound designer. What they see, how they see it, and why most of us do not see the same Horowitz also walks with a child and a dog to see the world as they perceive it.
