Wayfinding

The physical world is infinitely complex, yet most of us are able to find our way around it. In Wayfinding, Michael Bond explores how we do it: how our brains make the 'cognitive maps' that keep us orientated, even in places that we don't know. He considers how we relate to places, and asks how our understanding of the world around us affects our psychology and behaviour. For readers of writers as different as Robert Macfarlane and Oliver Sacks.
