Performed on six continents during the past five decades, d'Agostino's work lays a groundwork for considering walks as portals for crossing natural, cultural and virtual frontiers.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBroad in scope, it addresses topics ranging from historical concerns including traditional Australian Aboriginal rites of passage and the exploits of explorers such as John Ledyard, to artists' walks and related themes covered in the mass media in recent years. D'Agostino's work shows that the act of walking places the individual within a world of empirical awareness, statistical knowledge, expectation and surprise through phenomena like anticipating unknown encounters around the bend. In mediating the frontiers of human knowledge, walking and other forms of exploration remain a critical means of engaging global challenges, especially notable now as environmental boundaries are undergoing radical and potential cataclysmic change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: INTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Walking on Edges, Peter d'Agostino's \u003cem\u003eWorld-Wide-Walks\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eKristine Stiles\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart II: COMMENTARIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Peter d'Agostino: Walks \u0026amp; Sounds (footsteps, noise and silence)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGabriel Villota Toyos\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: World-Wide-Walks: body-apparatus\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDavid I.
