I Begin with Spring

The Life and Seasons of Henry David Thoreau
BuchGebunden
96 Seiten
Englisch
Tilbury House Publisherserschienen am01.03.2022
I Begin with Spring weaves natural history around Thoreau´s life and times in a richly illustrated field notebook format that can be opened anywhere and invites browsing on every page. Beginning each season with quotes from Thoreau´s schoolboy essay about the changing seasons, Early Bloomer follows him through the fields and woods of Concord, the joys and challenges of growing up, his experiment with simple living on Walden Pond, and his participation in the abolition movement, self-reliance, science, and literature. The book´s two organizing themes-the chronology of Thoreau´s life and the seasonal cycle beginning with spring-interact seamlessly on every spread, suggesting the correspondence of human seasons with nature´s. Thoreau´s annual records of blooms, bird migrations, and other natural events scroll in a timeline across the page bottoms, and the backmatter includes a summary of how those dates have changed from his day to ours and what that tells us about the science of phenology and climate change. Megan Baratta´s watercolors are augmented with historical images and reproductions of Thoreau´s own sketches to create a high-interest visual experience. The book includes a foreword from Thoreau scholar Jeffrey Cramer, Curator of Collections for the Walden Woods Project.mehr
