  <description><![CDATA[Henry David Thoreau wrote four full-length works, collected here for the first time in a single volume. Subtly interweaving natural observation, personal experience, and historical lore, they reveal his brilliance not only as a writer, but as a naturalist, scholar, historian, poet, and philosopher. &quot;A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers&quot; is based on a boat trip taken with his brother from Concord, Massachusetts to Concord, New Hampshire. &quot;Walden,&quot; one of America's great books, is at once a personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, manual of self-reliance, and masterpiece of style. &quot;The Maine Woods&quot; and &quot;Cape Cod&quot; portray landscapes changing irreversibly even as he wrote. The first combines close observation of the unexplored Maine wilderness with a far-sighted plea for conservation; the second is a brilliant and unsentimental account of survival on a barren peninsula in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Thoreau is a very intellectual man with beautiful naturalistic beliefs that he incorporates into his descriptive books. However, over 300 pages of describing a week on the river is a bit much for me, personally speaking. Thoreau had wonderful points to make about Nature, but trashing the other relig...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74018592">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Henry David Thoreau wrote four full-length works, collected here for the first time in a single volume. Subtly interweaving natural observation, personal experience, and historical lore, they reveal his brilliance not only as a writer, but as a naturalist, scholar, historian, poet, and philosopher. &quot;A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers&quot; is based on a boat trip taken with his brother from Concord, Massachusetts to Concord, New Hampshire. &quot;Walden,&quot; one of America's great books, is at once a personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, manual of self-reliance, and masterpiece of style. &quot;The Maine Woods&quot; and &quot;Cape Cod&quot; portray landscapes changing irreversibly even as he wrote. The first combines close observation of the unexplored Maine wilderness with a far-sighted plea for conservation; the second is a brilliant and unsentimental account of survival on a barren peninsula in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay.]]>

    <![CDATA[Henry David Thoreau wrote four full-length works, collected here for the first time in a single volume. Subtly interweaving natural observation, personal experience, and historical lore, they reveal his brilliance not only as a writer, but as a naturalist, scholar, historian, poet, and philosopher. &quot;A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers&quot; is based on a boat trip taken with his brother from Concord, Massachusetts to Concord, New Hampshire. &quot;Walden,&quot; one of America's great books, is at once a personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, manual of self-reliance, and masterpiece of style. &quot;The Maine Woods&quot; and &quot;Cape Cod&quot; portray landscapes changing irreversibly even as he wrote. The first combines close observation of the unexplored Maine wilderness with a far-sighted plea for conservation; the second is a brilliant and unsentimental account of survival on a barren peninsula in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay.]]>
