"At the Edge" tells the story of a 1500 kilometre walk from the southwest corner of Ireland to the northwest corner of Scotland. By following the Atlantic coast all the way, Joseph links the most vibrant Gaelic communities. Reflections on identity, culture and sustainability make this a unique and memorable book. It will appeal particularly to those with Irish or Scottish heritage and no doubt some will want to do the journey themselves - although perhaps not on foot.

Joseph Murphy works in the Sustainability Research Institute at the University of Leeds. He has a PhD in environmental politics and before taking up his current position was Senior Research Fellow at Mansfield College, University of Oxford. A keen walker and enthusiast for long-distance trails, he has hiked coast-to-coast across the Pyrenees twice. At the Edge is his first book for a wider audience and the route is the longest he has completed.
