In transcribing the 150-year-old manuscript's cryptic handwriting and complex notations, Thoreau specialist Bradley Dean has performed a \"heroic feat of decipherment\" (\u003cem\u003eBooklist\u003c\/em\u003e) to bring this great work to light. Readers will discover \"passages that reach for the transcendentalist ideal of writing new scriptures, yet grounding this Bible in a vision of practical ecology\" (\u003cem\u003eBoston\u003c\/em\u003e). Beautifully illustrated throughout with line drawings of the natural life Thoreau considers on his walks, \u003cem\u003eWild Fruits\u003c\/em\u003e is \"well worth any nature lover's attention\" (\u003cem\u003eChristian Science Monitor\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDean, Bradley P.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eBradley P.
