Meditations of Henry David Thoreau: A Light In The Woods Compiled and Edited by Chris Highland Paperback, 146 pages
When Henry David Thoreau died at the age of forty-four in 1862, he had written a forest of articles and essays that eventually earned him a reputation as a first-rate naturalist, conservationist, and social critic. His grave site in Concord, Massachusetts, is a pilgrimage site for readers who still turn to "Walden", "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers","Maine Woods", "Civil Disobedience," and "Walking" for inspiration. Thoreau was a supreme articulator of America's conscience when the country was industrializing, facing battle over slavery, and developing its public education system. His thoughts are brook-clear and strangely prescient today.
Chris Highland has chosen 60 thoughtful Thoreau quotations and placed them alongside the wise words of writers, philosophers, and teachers from around the world. Bound in a lovely and compact format, the book totes easily along in your pocket or backpack, providing a meditative and contemplative respite any time you need it.
