Synopsis

Pencil-maker, surveyor, naturalistHenry David Thoreau (18171862) wrote articles and essays that established him as Americas first great conservationist. As a preeminent social critic, Thoreaus sense of social justice influenced Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

As a 19th century man, Thoreau witnessed the Industrial revolution, Westward expansion and its harbinger, the railroad, slavery, and Civil War. He stayed alert to the dynamics of human behavior, but Nature was his foremost wild laboratory for the soul.

May this portable sampler of Thoreaus help you discover your own light in the woods.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Chris Highland is an interspiritual chaplain, author, songwriter and poet. He completed his undergraduate studies in religion and philosophy in Seattle, Washington, before settling in the San Francisco Bay Area to complete his Masters degree. A passionate saunterer, he enjoys an intimate relation with Nature in forests, mountains and waterfalls. An avowed heretic (one who seeks new paths), Chris writing reflects his exploration of the edges of human society and his playful search for what Emerson called high, clear and spiritual conversation, to be had by each and every one of us as beggars on the highway. Chris is the author of Meditations of John Muir: Natures Temple, Meditations of Henry David Thoreau: A Light in the Woods, and Meditations of Ralph Waldo Emerson: Into the Green Future, all from Wilderness Press.
