Before we looked to the skies, we learned the world by walking it. In Earth Underfoot, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis turns his gaze downward - to the soil, stone, and stories beneath our feet. From the red dust of the Australian outback to the moss-covered trails of northern Scotland, Davis explores how the very ground we walk on shapes culture, memory, and meaning. With the curiosity of an explorer and the lyricism of a poet, he uncovers the hidden worlds of geology, ecology, and human history that exist in every footprint. Each chapter is a reminder that travel isn't only about where we go - but how deeply we pay attention to what carries us there. Evocative, tactile, and profoundly meditative, Earth Underfoot is an ode to slowness, presence, and the enduring bond between people and planet.
