Summary:

"Thoreau in his early career did not consider nature a worthy subject for his pen. He later began to study the subject more intensely. He devoted the last years of his writing career to nature studies. In this revised edition, the author traces the origins and development of Thoreau's shift in viewpoint and his painstaking efforts thereafter"-- Provided by publisher.
