Henry David Thoreau’s contributions to botany are well documented.
Far less known was his passion for the physical sciences, especially geology.
Robert Thorson’s new book, Walden’s Shore, is the first-ever book to focus on Thoreau the geoscientist, from his studies of local rocks and minerals to his interpretation of how Walden Pond and the Concord landscape were created.
