The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes--and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. But \u003ci\u003eA Walk in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, \u003ci\u003eA Walk in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e is a modern classic of travel literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Bryson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0767902521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780767902526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e35586 \/ Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/1999 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/16\/1999 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/06\/1999 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOutside\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2008 pg. 28","brand":"Bill Bryson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053433450751,"sku":"9780767902526","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0763ab7-71e0-43b6-9489-208b17a3c16c.jpg?v=1685024318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-walk-in-the-woods-bill-bryson-9780767902526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
