Solnit is interested in the stories we use to navigate our way through the world, and the places we traverse, from wilderness to cities, in finding ourselves, or losing ourselves. While deeply personal, her own stories link up to larger stories, from captivity narratives of early Americans to the use of the color blue in Renaissance painting, not to mention encounters with tortoises, monks, punk rockers, mountains, deserts, and the movie \u003ci\u003eVertigo\u003c\/i\u003e. The result is a distinctive, stimulating voyage of discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143037248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.84h x 5.16w x 0.62d","brand":"Rebecca Solnit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36634880835740,"sku":"9780143037248","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a72126ff-e7ce-4533-b7c7-37477b6b47c0.jpg?v=1603837901","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-field-guide-to-getting-lost-9780143037248","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
