Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Together in one volume, Emerson's Nature and Thoreau's Walking, is writing that defines our distinctly American relationship to nature.
'Certain writings should be read together, and these two make perfect partners. A beautiful new volume.'

I've come to assign it in courses but read it in your own. The essays are beyond compare, the book itself a pleasure to hold.
Rated by buyers -
The essays Nature and Waling are written by two of the pillars of transendentalism. I have never read an essay which surmized why one should appreciate nature as much as walking. It passages made me comtenmpate why I appreciate nature and the simple pleasures of waling with no destination in mind. It soldified many ideas that I had for a long time and placed them in a beatiful framework. It is a shame that Walking is overshadowed by Walden. One drawback to this book, although it serves as a useful comparison is that after reading Walking, nature by Emerson seems inferior. Althoiugh a good qualitity essay, it does not have the emotional connection and seems to detached for my preference.

John Elder is a genius! The spirituality of Emerson's "Nature" is a perfect compliment to the deep philosophical naturalism of Thoreau's work. It just came in the mail an hour or so and i can't put it down! I'm going to reccomend it to all of my friends.
