Walden Pond (New England Landmarks)
Editorial Reviews Book Description The only book in print with photos of Walden Pond exclusively, this is a loving study of a great New England landmark by a lifetime visitor. A photographer and environmentalist, McGrath has captured Walden in all seasons and moods. Her beautiful color images are matched with quotations from Thoreau's Walden, so that the reader can stand in the writer's shoes and see what he saw when he experienced Life in the Woods. From the Inside Flap Walden Pond is one of New England's most cherished landmarks. On a solitary walk at dawn or dusk, it is a place of serenity and pristine beauty. At the height of a hot summer's day its beach is alive with families at play. For those inspired by the life and thought of Henry David Thoreau, Walden Pond is steeped in history and soul.
The photographys in this collection are the work of a lifelong visitor to Walden. Matched with quotations from "Walden", of "Life in the Woods", they allow the reader to stand in Thoreau's shoes and see what he did while gathering observations for his great work. In his later years, Thoreau wrote that Walden "is itself unchanged, the same water which my youthful eyes fell on." A century and a half later, the essence of Walden remains.
