In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World is a vintage classic
that pairs passages by writer Henry David Thoreau with images by
photographer Eliot Porter. Ahead of its time, this bestselling-and
long-out-of-print-classic monograph was first published in 1962.
Porter masterfully created color photographs of the New England
woods to pair with the writings of Henry David Thoreau. Often
referred to as the very first coffee table book ever published Both
Porter and Thoreau-although they lived a century apart-worked
endlessly to preserve nature and protect it from manmade
interference. First published by Porter and Sierra Club founder
David Brower The finished "collaboration" arrived in an era when
environmental causes were not as prominent in the public
consciousness, yet the book became an overnight publishing success.
In Wildness is a wonderful pick for environmentally aware buyers,
photography fans, and anyone looking for a unique book that
combines literature and photography. Pairs passages from one of the
most revered American writers of the nineteenth century with a
premier photographer of the twentieth century Features a
re-envisioned cover of the beautiful classic Offers hope and
inspiration for the preservation of our natural world Gorgeous on
display on the coffee table
