<div>Originally published in 1865, Henry David Thoreau&#8217;s Cape Cod is a wonderfully written, surprisingly funny account of nineteenth-century life on the Cape well before it became a major tourist attraction. To this day, many people consider it the best book ever written about Cape Cod. This new illustrated volume features the complete text of Thoreau&#8217;s classic work as published in Houghton Mifflin&#8217;s 1906 edition, the stunning photography of Scot Miller, and a foreword from the preeminent Thoreau biographer, Robert Richardson. Many of the lush color photographs show elements of the landscape that Thoreau would have seen: the great beach, imposing cliffs, sand dunes, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, beach grass, seaweed; others reflect the unique personality of Cape Cod and its people today, including local artists and architecture. The combination of Thoreau&#8217;s timeless text and Miller&#8217;s exquisitely reproduced color photographs make this an indispensable book for anyone who loves Thoreau&#8217;s writing or Cape Cod.<BR><BR>The book is published in association with the Walden Woods Project, which is dedicated to preserving the lands Thoreau wrote about.</div>

Uncommon Learning

<div><B>An American masterwork in praise of nature, self-reliance, and the simple life</B><BR /><BR /><I>I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.</I><BR /> <BR />In 1845, the transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau moved from his home in the town of Concord, Massachusetts, to a small cabin he built by hand on the shores of Walden Pond. He spent the next two years alone in the woods, learning to live self-sufficiently and to take his creative and moral inspiration from nature. Part memoir, part philosophical treatise, part environmental manifesto, <I>Walden </I>is Thoreau&rsquo;s inspirational account of those extraordinary years and one of the most influential books ever written.<BR /> <BR />This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.<BR /></div>

Walden

<div><B>Thoreau advocates for nonviolent protest in his classic manifesto</B><BR /><BR /> Motivated by his disgust with the US government, Henry David Thoreau&rsquo;s seminal philosophical essay enjoins individuals to stand against the ruling forces that seek to erase their free will. It is the duty of a good citizen, he argues, not only to disobey a bad law, but also to protest an unjust government. His message of nonviolence and appeal to value one&rsquo;s own conscience over political legislation have resonated throughout American and world history. Peppered with the author&rsquo;s poetry and social commentary, <I>Civil Disobedience</I> has become a manifesto for civil dissidents, revolutionaries, and protestors everywhere. Indeed, originally so unpopular with readers that Thoreau was forced to buy back over half of the books from his publisher, this work has gone on to inspire the likes of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.<BR /><BR /><I>This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.</I></div>

Civil Disobedience

<div><B>“The sage of Walden Pond is himself in the mix with a quote-a-day compendium from Thoreau biographer Laura Dassow Walls of some of his best observations.” —<I>Wall Street Journal</I></B><br/><br/>“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of each.”<br/><br/>Modernity rules our lives by clock and calendar, dividing the stream of time into units. Henry David Thoreau subverted both clock and calendar, using them not to regulate time’s passing but to open up and explore its presence. This volume embodies Thoreau’s own ambition to “live in season” —to turn with the living sundial of the world, and, by attuning ourselves to nature.<br/><br/>Ralph Waldo Emerson noted with awe that from flowers alone, Thoreau could tell the calendar date within two days; children remembered long into adulthood how Thoreau showed them white waterlilies awakening not by the face of a clock but at the first touch of the sun. As Thoreau wrote in Walden, “Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is.”<br/><br/>Drawn from the full range of Thoreau’s journals and published writings, and arranged according to season, <I>The Daily Henry David Thoreau</I> allows us to discover the endless variation to be found in the repetitions of mundane cycles. Thoreau saw in the kernel of each day an earth enchanted, one he honed into sentences tuned with an artist’s eye and a musician’s ear. Thoreau’s world lives on in his writing so that we, too, may discover, even in a fallen world, a beauty worth defending.</div>
