Excursions by HENRY DAVID THOREAU, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A selection of ruminative nature writing on walking and the beauty of New England, here Thoreaus characteristically wide-ranging and philosophical style offers a multitude of fascinating observations. Excursions presents Thoreaus most studied and expansive collection of writing on the natural world. An early advocate of conservationism, he discusses here, in mesmerising prose, the complex but essential relationship between man and nature. This edition includes a remarkable Biographical Sketch by Thoreaus great contemporary and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson. | Excursions by HENRY DAVID THOREAU, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
