What is A Field Guide To Getting Lost about?

In this investigation into loss, losing and being lost, Rebecca Solnit explores the challenges of living with uncertainty. Whether she is contemplating the history of walking as a cultural and political experience over the past two hundred years (Wanderlust), or using the life of photographer Eadweard Muybridge as a lens to discuss the transformations of space and time in late nineteenth-century America (River of Shadows), Rebecca Solnit has emerged as an inventive and original writer whose mind is daring in the connections it makes. A Field Guide to Getting Lost draws on emblematic moments and relationships in Solnit's own life to explore the issues of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown. It takes in subjects as eclectic as memory and mapmaking, Hitchcock movies and Renaissance painting -beautifully written, this book combines memoir, history and philosophy, shedding glittering new light on the way we live now. The result is a distinctive, stimulating, and poignant voyage of discovery.
