Item Description

"What Would Henry Do?: Essays for the 21st Century" by Thoreau Farm Trust is a book series aimed at exploring the question: if Henry David Thoreau were alive today, what would HE think, what HE say, what would HE do?

Today on our little planet, we live in bewildering times. We are essentially faced with this question: what should we be thinking, saying and doing about the challenges bearing down upon our lives? Answers can be hard to come by. Yet we, the community of Thoreau Farm, believe we have to search for them. So we wondered, if Henry David Thoreau were alive today, what would HE think, what HE say, what would HE do?, Ken Lizotte, President, Thoreau Farm Trust
