About This Item
Berkeley, CA : Counterpoint : Distributed by Publishers Group West, 2010. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new. Physical description; 81 pages : illustrations ; 21 x 27 cm. Summary; Henry David Thoreau has long been revered for his writings and observations on the natural world. His words evoke his environment with stunning clarity as well as his own innate sense of wonder. His journal, from which the text of Of Woodland Pools, Spring-Holes and Ditches is drawn, shares these strengths, providing an intimate view of Thoreau's day-to-day existence. The selected excerpts are pulled from the months of March, April, and May, and all pertain to what are now called vernal pools -- temporary pools of water, free of fish, at their peak in the spring, and the breeding ground for num. Subjects; Thoreau, Henry David, -- 1817-1862 -- Homes and haunts -- Massachusetts. Authors, American -- Homes and haunts -- Massachusetts. Wilderness areas -- Massachusetts.
