He heard a different drummer- The sun is but a morning star
Thoreau is more than simply a writer who produced a great American classic. He exemplified the idea which perhaps as much as any other has come to be at the heart of the American creed. "If a man does not keep pace to his companion, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." Throreau when he went into the woods of ...

Skinner at his best
The book "Walden Two" by B.F.Skinner is excellent. It is written in a story form so most of us will not get lost with the psychology jargon, and the story is very interesting and moves right along.For those of you not familiar with his work Skinner explains what behavioral engineering is and his main charcter uses this as his platfrom for a utopic society. I liked many things about Waldon Two how ...

Walden and Resistance to Civil Government (Norton Critical Editions)

3 reviews
Henry David Thoreau

W. W. Norton, 1992

One of the greatest American prose stylists.
Mind you, this isn't idle worship - this book is a masterpiece of American Literature, and along with 'Civil Disobedience', represents one of the greatest literary minds America has ever known. Thoreau stands with Dickinson, Emerson, Hawthorne, Melville, and Whitman as one of the greats of his era. Indeed, in the 1850's when 'Walden' was originally published, it occasionally sat beside ...

Walden With Ralph Waldo Emerson's Essay on Thoreau (Everyman's Library)

Henry David Thoreau

Everymans Library, 2006

The Hobo Philosopher
My first copy of this book was indubitably from some other publisher. So I'm not commenting on this particular volume but the content of the work itself. I have always loved this book but it wasn't until recent years that I realized what a controversial book this was. Thoreau published this book at his own expense and he sold very few copies. Later on he stored most of his unsold copies in an ...

Walden, by Henry David Thoreau
This book should be required reading for every high school and college student in every school in the country. Our narcissistic, throwaway, gadget-intoxicated society needs to hear Thoreau's message about the satisfaction gained through living simply, and about the difference between want and need. Not to mention his pronouncement that we do not own our possessions but are rather owned and ...

Henry David Thoreau, Peter Matthiessen

Modern Library, 2000

FIVE STARS FOR THE GIRL IN WYOMING!
I have no intention of reviewing the writings of Thoreau. The way I figure it is this : if you don't "get it" (and the world around us clearly testifies that few do), I'm not about to explain it. Besides, several other reviewers here have already done a very admirable job of excavating and cataloging the rich treasures that constitute the thoughts of Concord's timeless, self-professed "mystic, ...

Henry David Thoreau

Modern Library, 1992

A questioning of life
Thoreau masterfully analyzes his in its purest form, he does away his all superfluous details. He forces the read to question his own existence. He forces the reader to imagine life without technology, commotion and anything unnecessary. Besides his analysis in Walden, he takes a stand for the maverick, for the individual, for the non-conformist. Lastly his social commentary especially about ...

Very helpful to the student in need. . .

Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

Henry David Thoreau

Shambhala, 2004

Stunning edition!
I will not comment on Walden itself, because that is a matter whether you accept it to be a classic or not. My review is on the quality of this edition, which is superb. The book is a pleasure to hold--the paper is heavy and smooth, the print is sharp, and the award-winning illustrations are an added bonus. Unlike the other hardcover bindings out there, this is not an annotated version, so you ...

Deglobalization: Ideas for a New World Economy (Global Issues)

1 review
Walden Bello

Zed Books, 2005

Trade über alles
For Walden Bello, globalization is the accelerated world integration of capital, production and markets, driven by the logic of corporate profitability. It is a synonym for `trade über alles' or trade above equity, justice, environment, solidarity and community. The main headways for this globalization are the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO, who are dominated by the USA and the West and its ...

The Senses of Walden: An Expanded Edition

3 reviews
Stanley Cavell

University Of Chicago Press, 1992

Cavell's reclaiming of Thoreau and Emerson as philosophers.
More than a discrete work of literary criticism, this work plays an important part in Cavell's ongoing philosophical project. If Cavell's earlier work had Wittgenstein and Austin as involving a modernist break with the dominant Anglo-American philosophical tradition of positivism, then this work exemplified how analytical philosophy might continue. Cavell finds in the word conscious text of ...

walden two
b.f. skinner

the macmillan company, 1948

This fictional outline of a modern utopia has been a center of raging controversy ever since its publication in 1948. Set in the United States, it provocatively pictures a society in which human problems are solved by a scientific technology of human conduct - and in which many of our contemporary values are obsolete.

Richie's Picks: THOREAU AT WALDEN
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." "I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle and farming tools...for these are more easily acquired than got rid of." "Shall we always study to obtain more of these things...and not sometimes to be content with less" It is a lovely evening in Sebastopol to be reading and ...
