Walking is a way of knowing :

Ramesh, Madhuri.

Walking is a way of knowing : in a Kadar forest / Madhuri ramesh, Manish Chandi & Matthew Frame. - 52 unnumbered pages : illustrations ; 25 cm

The Kadars are a small indigenous community in south India. Even though they no longer live deep in the forest, they still walk its paths every day. For them, walking is a way of knowing, not just a way of getting from place to place. This is the story of a Kadar elder who takes a young urban visitor through the tangled woods that make up his ancient home. The book captures an urban nature lover's experience of learning from a forest-dweller -- and is beautifully illustrated to bring alive the dark richness of an lndian tropical forest.
