3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, September 26, 2006

This review is from: Thoughts from Walden Pond 2007 Calendar (Calendar)

The pictures were unlabeled so I have no idea where they were taken but apparently not at Walden Pond, at least not all of them. One picture of a mountain and lake my father is sure is Mt. Rainier. He insists the type of trees in the picture do not grow in the East. Considering he has a bachelor's degree in forestry, I am inclined to believe him.

In addition to unlabeled pictures there is very little of Thoreau's wisdom, one passage per month and that in small print. It's a nice, attractive calendar but with too little Walden and too little Thoreau.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the Publisher, November 20, 2005

This review is from: Thoughts from Walden Pond (Paperback)

"Henry David Thoreau (American, 1817-1862) extracted himself from the routines of employment and civilized sociability to spend two years in the woods. Walden, Thoreau's book on his experience published in 1854, has become one of the most highly respected works in American literature. In Thoughts from Walden Pond, Charles Gurche's brilliant photographs from the diverse regions of America are paired with excerpts from Thoreau's masterpiece. The pictures with the text transport us to a state of heightened awareness and impart an almost cellular sense of the importance of wild places. Dona Budd's introductory essay offers an engrossing biography of Thoreau along with her insightful reflections on Walden.

"96 pages, 57 color photographs, size: 8 x 10". Smythe-sewn paperbound book, with flaps. ISBN: 0-7649-0617-8."--© Pomegranate
