In this slim chapbook that details Henry's thoughts on the courageous, aspirational, and contemplative moments that shape our hours and our mindset, there are meanderings on the birds and the trees, the setting sun, the rising moon, the fog that settles, the fox that hunts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReading Thoreau is always a thoughtful process and a creative exercise all rolled into one. We especially love the way his words invite new associations between physical presence and dreamy, free-style metaphors and associations. A water-filled well is a crystal mindset. Grass is perpetual youth. A stone is a cuddly pillow.  November is twilight. You can read and reread Henry year after year, decade after decade, and still find new insights and new interests.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Pauper Press had a way with celebrating authors and their words in the same way. Publishing their first book in Westchester County, NY, in 1928, they strived to produce interesting books for affordable prices. This simple and humble mission resulted in a gorgeous career that's lasted almost a century and built a reputation for books that boasted stylized graphic design, high-quality paper, and engaging content. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition of Thoreau on Man and Nature was published in 1960. It remains timeless in both presentation and content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003e{SPECIAL FEATURES}\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1960 edition \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e62 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes original dust jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003e{CONDITION}\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn lovely vintage condition, this book is clean and bright throughout.
