Like a well-crafted stage play, Just Passin' Thru delivers one suspenseful scene after another. But in this historic setting a store on the Appalachian Trail called Mountain Crossings the characters who show up are no fictional creations.

But all are united by two things: the author’s story-capturing talent, and whatever it is that lures them to attempt (or conquer) a 2,200-mile path that climbs and plummets from Georgia to Maine.

"Nel corso della mia vita ho incontrato una o due persone che comprendessero l'arte del camminare, che avessero il genio - così si dice - del vagabondare."

Hver dag går forfatter Anna Skyggebjerg en tur. 10.000 skridt, mindst. Ikke fordi hun ikke kan andet. Løbe, for eksempel. Men fordi det at gå tur er en aktivitet, der rækker langt ud over blot det at sætte den ene fod foran den anden. I sin gennemresearchede bog "Gå tur" formidler Skyggebjerg, hvordan gåturen ikke blot øger vores fysiske og psykiske velbefindende og styrker vores relationer, men i sin yderste konsekvens er en revolutionær praksis. Bogen trækker på såvel ældgammel filosofi som moderne forskning, kædet sammen af gribende beskrivelser af vigtige gåture i forfatterens eget liv.

Jede freie Minute widmet sich Bernhard Hoecker der geheimnisvollen Schatzsuche. Mit viel Humor erzählt er von seinen außergewöhnlichen Abenteuern und erklärt alles, was man über Geocaching wissen muss.
