In spare musings that are sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious, but always informative, Kirk Ward Robinson recounts a life of wanderlust, from his earliest memories to the sobering present, where time is advancing more quickly than his journeys to come.

Twice named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Books, Robinson brings an authentic, experiential feel to Notes from the Field, and includes the maps that were omitted from his previous book, Hiking Through History.
