Bowker Biography:
Warwick Ford

Warwick Ford and his wife Nola (a major contributor) were born and raised in Mackay, Australia, lived in several Australian cities, immigrated to Canada where they lived for 12 years, then immigrated to the United States in 1996. Their primary U.S. home is in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Warwick has several college degrees including a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. In the U.S. he worked for seven years as a technology executive of VeriSign, a California-based company. Filling this position while living in Massachusetts led to extensive travel in cities throughout the U.S. One of the biggest challenges of that period was finding the motivation and time to get out on-foot enough to maintain fitness. That led to this project. Now, Warwick and Nola spend substantial time researching and documenting premium, enjoyable on-foot routes in cities throughout the U.S. and internationally.

Warwick’s previous titles were in the technology realm; they include Computer Communications Security and Secure Electronic Commerce, published by Prentice Hall PTR.

But unfortunately we are often hesitant to venture out and exercise, especially when in U.S. cities. However, if we know the best routes to follow, on-foot exercise in cities can be stress-free, interesting, and exhilarating. It can even be fun!This book highlights the top 50 urban 4-to-10-mile routes in 14 major U.S. cities.
