Nature

Beware that the print is tiny. I thought that the reviews were telling me that this was not tiny print. But they are wrong. It's barely readable tiny print. This is a wonderful book. I've read it 4 times. It is a pure shame that publishers all print this book in tiny print and make it so difficult to read.

I love this book because it goes beyond thinking of nature as a collection of interesting and beautiful rocks, soils, land formations, water bodies, plants and animals. Absorbing his few but deeply thought out words can help readers to think of nature as the great educator, deep knowledge of which can change our lives and enhance our impacts on the world. I also love that Emerson accomplishes this in only 50 pages!

emerson and thoreau both knew about striking a balance with nature. something that our society today is really out of touch with. yet it comes with every generation to discover the necessity of it, within themselves first,then into the world.the balance won't come any other way until our hearts are broken, and are more than willing to give up stuff that never really had any meaning in the bigger scheme of things. nature is in EVERYTHING, not only the forests, and is more nurturing than one can imagine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, simple truth buy it.

a developed, shining perspective of nature and how it effects us in our everyday lives

For me it was a great introduction to Mr Waldo Emerson.

Great book a wealth of information! Very insightful. Excellent writing.Reverend Darling explains that it is a must to be positive. and it is a must for women to know who they are and how much they CAN accomplish to change the world.

go outside sit down and read this book before your cubicle suffocates you

inspiring

Bon à force de lire des citations d'Emerson et Thoreau dans des bouquins US que j'adore, je me suis dis que j'étais obligé de les lire et puis je me suis dit que pour pouvoir me la jouer j'allais les lire en anglais.Conclusion : énorme, mais depuis je suis obligé de prendre mes distances avec l"humanité.Plus (ou moins) sérieusement, ce petit livre est une merveille très dure à lire. Chaque ligne nous fait divaguer pendant une plombe et nécessite des relectures. Exemple : "La nature complote avec l'esprit pour émanciper l'homme". Voilà, vous avez trois heures.Sinon, c'est un bijou, je suis très étonné qu'on ne nous en parle pas à l'école française (je déconne)
