"Brilliant, powerful, fascinating" ROBERT MACFARLANE"Deeply thoughtful" ROBIN WALL KIMMERER"Captivating and exhilarating" TRISTAN GOOLEY“A sage, companionable and fulgent meditation on how best to be human…The prescription is simple: live like a tree.” Charles Foster, Times Literary SupplementNAMED A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST SUMMER BOOK OF 2026__________A tree is not just a type of being, it is also a way of being – one that is wildly creative, fantastically resilient, and most of all, deeply rooted...From bestselling author Robert Moor comes a wondrous journey through the wilds of nature and the gnarls of history, exploring how trees – from the tiniest bonsai to the mightiest sequoia – teach us to grow wise.One day, on a whim, Robert Moor set out to climb a tree near his home, unwittingly embarking on what would become a decade-long, globe-spanning adventure. Drawing on an astonishing range of thinkers, from cutting-edge scientists to ancient philosophers, Moor explores how trees have shaped human lives for millennia – and how they can guide us into the future.His hunt for the ‘wisdom of trees’ takes him from the Lake District to Ethiopia, Tanzania, Papua and Japan. He dines with David Attenborough, naps with chimpanzees and risks his life to save an ancient forest. Along the way, Moor investigates some of humanity’s oldest mysteries: What is the secret to growing old well? How do we set down roots in an increasingly chaotic world? And most importantly, how should we – as individuals, as communities, as stewards of the Earth – live?What begins as an ode to the miracle of trees blossoms into a joyous, daring, fiercely hopeful endeavour to broaden our minds and deepen our connections. To truly grasp the wisdom of a tree, this bold new classic announces, you must learn to think like one.

New York Times Bestseller • Winner of the National Outdoor Book Award • Winner of the Saroyan International Prize for Writing • Winner of the Pacific Northwest Book Award • “The best outdoors book of the year.” —Sierra Club From a talent who’s been compared to Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, David Quammen, and Jared Diamond, On Trails is a wondrous exploration of how trails help us understand the world—from invisible ant trails to hiking paths that span continents, from interstate highways to the Internet.While thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our feet: How do they form? Why do some improve over time while others fade? What makes us follow or strike off on our own? Over the course of seven years, Moor traveled the globe, exploring trails of all kinds, from the miniscule to the massive. He learned the tricks of master trail-builders, hunted down long-lost Cherokee trails, and traced the origins of our road networks and the Internet. In each chapter, Moor interweaves his adventures with findings from science, history, philosophy, and nature writing. Throughout, Moor reveals how this single topic—the oft-overlooked trail—sheds new light on a wealth of age-old questions: How does order emerge out of chaos? How did animals first crawl forth from the seas and spread across continents? How has humanity’s relationship with nature and technology shaped world around us? And, ultimately, how does each of us pick a path through life? Moor has the essayist’s gift for making new connections, the adventurer’s love for paths untaken, and the philosopher’s knack for asking big questions. With a breathtaking arc that spans from the dawn of animal life to the digital era, On Trails is a book that makes us see our world, our history, our species, and our ways of life anew.

En 2009, mientras recorría el sendero de los Apalaches, Moor comenzó a preguntarse sobre los caminos que se encuentran bajo nuestros pies: ¿Cómo se forman? ¿Por qué algunos mejoran con el tiempo mientras que otros se desvanecen? ¿Qué nos hace seguir o atacar por nuestra cuenta? En el transcurso de los siguientes siete años, Robert Moor viajó por todo el mundo, explorando senderos de todo tipo, desde lo minúsculo hasta lo máximo. Aprendió los trucos de los maestros constructores de senderos, rastreó caminos Cherokee perdidos hace mucho tiempo e trazó los orígenes de nuestras redes de carreteras e Internet. Moor tiene el don del ensayista para hacer nuevas conexiones, el amor del aventurero por los caminos no recorridos y la habilidad del filósofo para hacer grandes preguntas.
