The Man Who Walked Through Time by Colin FletcherMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A fascinating read about a serious walker's jaunt from one end of the Grand Canyon, as part of the Park, to the other. It can be "seen" in three acts: Act I with camera, Act II abandoning camera and including naked hiking, Act III with new camera. But, not pictures in the book! The only illustration is a grey-on-dark grey map being very hard to review. The author uses lengthy footnotes that should be part of the text. The several ruminations on the nature of time - time itself as well as considering the span of 200 million years - are though-provoking. The author's experience provoked him to be part of the successful public opposition to the Bridgre Canyon Dam.
