Learning from Thoreau is an intimate intellectual walk with Americas most edgy and original environmentalist. The thrust of the book consists not in learning about Thoreau from an intermediary but, as the title suggests, in learning from Thoreau along with the authorwhose lifelong engagement with this genius of the natural world leads him to examine the process of learning from an admired model.Using both images and text, Andrew Menard offers a personal meditation on Thoreaus thought, its originality, and its influence on the modern environmental movement. He places Thoreau in dialogue with contemporary artists and thinkers and associates him with a rich variety of places: Walden Pond, the Museum of Modern Art, the Rockefeller State Park Preserve in upstate New York, Mormon Mesa northeast of Las Vegas, and the old town of Knigsberg, Prussia. Each place, each experience, each writer, and each work of art provides a different line of approach. The author also leads us through an expanding and deepening series of keywords that trigger fresh occasions to learn from Thoreau: Concord, Walden, walking, seeing, nature, wildness, beauty. The result is a deeply nuanced and informed portrait of Thoreaus inner and outer landscape.
