Walking Review
Thoreau is always amazing regardless of which work I read. Walking is a great short read with numerous valuable ideas which aid in one's thinking. Whether you agree or disagree with Thoreau, you will be conditioned to think for yourself and decide what is best for you, making life all that much better. I highly recommend this book to any "Outdoor Philosopher".

Walking Overview
Originally given as part of a lecture in 1851, "Walking" was later published posthumously as an essay in the Atlantic Monthly in 1862. Now being a chief text in the environmental movement, Thoreau's "Walking" places man not separate from Nature and Wildness but within it and lyrically describes the ever beckoning call that draws us to explore and find ourselves lost in the beauty of the forests, rivers, and fields.

This book is a "must read" classic. - S. M. School - Woodbridge, VA USA
This charming little book catches the essence of Thoreau. This is a new publication of an well-worn and inspiring little book. If you think you just dont't "get" Thoreau, just try this book.
Great essay but... - Robert L. Murphy - Salt Lake City
This is one of Thoreau's best essays. But you can find it free in about fifty places on the internet.
A true classic on your kindle - Gene Bowker - Aiken, SC
I've always loved Walden and Thoreau's other books. The Kindle makes it easy to take it with you. When you are out walking you can have Thoreau's classic words with you.
The book is great, no noticed typos in the book.
