as our new release of the week: A Field Guide to Getting Lost, by Rebecca Solnit (Viking, July 2005) From Outside magazine: “Rebecca Solnit, one of the American West’s leading cultural thinkers and the author of Wanderlust…, has a mind that roams over deserts, canyons and forests. In her latest book, a collection of essays about her wanderings from New York to California, the San Francisco-based author explores the idea of getting lost, both literally and metaphorically. ‘Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark,’ she advises. ‘That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself come from, and where you will go.’”
