All of our bargain books are brand new, perfectly readable and represent a tremendous value!
The bargain books are, however, publisher overstocks and remainders that TRW purchases at
deep discounts. As a result, they may have a small mark through the UPC bar code or a small
mark on the side of the book. This is simply to mark the books so they cannot be sent back to
a publisher. Because of this, bargain books are non returnable to TRW unless they are damaged.
Please consider this before ordering.

| Henry David Thoreau | ||
| ISBN: 9780822558934 Author: Meltzer, Milton Publisher: Lerner Pub Group Published: December 2006 Retail: $33.26 OUR PRICE: $3.09 You Save 91% Binding Type: Hardcover Annotation: Meltzer closes this engaging biography with Emerson's eulogy for his friend, The country knows not yet, or in the least part, how great a son it has lost…. Indeed, the picture painted here is not that of the oft-mythologized hermit, but of a passionate man largely uncelebrated in his lifetime. Readers see Thoreau through a variety of lenses–brother, friend, pencil maker, abolitionist, naturalist, and transcendentalist–to name only a few. Meltzer's clear and succinct writing style is punctuated with well-chosen and good-quality photographs and reproductions. Perhaps this title's greatest virtue lies in its successful depiction of the link between Thoreau's personal philosophy and modern movements and concerns. His statements on conservation still fuel environmental advocacy, while his writings on civil disobedience can be directly linked to the work of Gandhi and Martin |
