This is an automatically translated description

Nothing in the universe is at complete rest. Movement is natural: The Earth, the water on it, the atmosphere, the continents, and all living organisms are in constant motion. We walk, run, jump, crawl, swim, fly. We are travelling. This book is about movement and about travelling: not only humans, but also animals, plants, wind, water, and our planet. It tells about travelling for trade or conquest, about travelling for pleasure and relaxation or for survival, about scientific expeditions and pilgrimages. It is about migrations, maps, navigation and, ultimately, about finding your own way. The two words that a traveller most often hears when travelling are "where" and "where are you from?". This book is a visual and intellectual journey through thousands of years in search of answers to these and many other questions.
