Natural History Essays

Learn how to embody the true spirit of the immersion of nature in this collection of writings by naturalist Henry David Thoreau. His writing embraces what is called "the other nations" of the planet, and the works in this collection include "Huckleberries," "Natural History of Massachusetts," "A Walk to Wachusett," "The Succession of Forest Trees," "A Winter Walk," "Wild Apples," "Autumnal Tints," and "Walking." In his mapping of the borders between humans and the natural world, these essays take us back in time while reminding us of the consistencies through historical milieus. The message that these writings carry now more than ever contain more weight and urgency as the true wild places in our world grow increasingly more scarce and this book ever the more valuable to read.
