Pedestrianism

PEDESTRIANISM

Pedestrianism - long-distance endurance walking - was a popular entertainment, or perhaps we shuould say a sport, during the Victorian period. See here for an example or two. A reader, however, alerts me to his new book 'King of the Peds' which tackles this very subject - well worth a look?

  1. Peter Lovesey tackled this subject in his 1970 Sgt. Cribb adventure Wobble to Death.

  2. I started my project with TQM, but due to time limitations & unavailbilty of required data, it turned into 'Quality of work life' i.e, I could complete only a portion of TQM & that little portion was my report.
