Please join as we welcome UConn professor, Robert M. Thorson, an award-winning author, scientist, and journalist. He will be discussing and signing copies of his new book, The Guide to Walden Pond.
An exploration of the history, nature, landscape, and literature of one of America’s most iconic places
This is the first guidebook to Henry David Thoreau’s most defining place, visited by half a million people each year and widely known as the fountainhead of America's environmental consciousness.
Using this guide, both armchair readers and trail-walkers alike can amble around the pond’s shoreline, pausing at fifteen special places to learn about people, historic events, and the natural world. Thoreau will be a constant companion via quotes from Walden. Stop by stop, the place of his book will merge with the book of his place.
Wednesday, March 21, 5:30 pm at UConn Barnes & Noble, 1 Royce Cir., Storrs Center, Storrs, CT.
