A selection of ruminative nature writing on walking and the
beauty of New England, here Thoreau's characteristically
wide-ranging and philosophical style offers a multitude of
fascinating observations. Excursions presents Thoreau's 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 Thoreau's great contemporary and mentor Ralph Waldo
Emerson.
This choice collection of Thoreau's nature writing includes the
essays 'The Succession of Forest Trees', 'Walking', and 'Autumnal
Tints' - each one an explorative reach into the heart of the
natural world. Thoreau's travels through the woods of New England
are not only physical journeys through some of the most
awe-inspiring landscapes in America but also spiritual excursions
of the mind.
