Footstep by footstep, this wonderous introduction to the poet-philospher offers readers of all ages the chance to understand Thoreau's belief that wilderness offers truth, beauty, and goodness to us all. He was a serious field biologist who studied nature, but also a man who showed us that nature was more than facts to be assembled, arranged, and measured.
