Walden’s Shore explores Thoreau’s understanding of the “living rock†on which life’s complexity depends—not as metaphor but as physical science. Robert Thorson’s subject is Thoreau the rock and mineral collector, interpreter of landscapes, and field scientist, whose compass and measuring stick were as important to him as his plant press.
