This open access book explores the amazing similarity between paths taken by people and many other things in life and its impact on the way we live teach and learn.Offering insights into the new scientific field of paths as part of the science of networks it entertainingly describes the universal nature of paths in large networked structures. It also shows the amazing similarity in the ways humans and other even nonliving things navigate in a complex environment to allow readers to easily grasp how paths emerge in many walks of life and how they are navigated.Pathsampnbspis based on the authors recent research in the area of paths on networks which points to the possible birth of the new science of paths as a natural consequence and extension of the science of networks.The approach is essentially storybased supported by scientific findings interdisciplinary approaches and at times even philosophical points of view.ampnbspIt also includes short illustrative anecdotes showing the amazing similarities between realworld paths and discusses their applications in science and everyday life.Pathsampnbspwill appeal to network scientists and to anyone interested in popular science.
