An immersive, beautifully illustrated revelation of Henry David Thoreau's final project--a monthly almanac of natural phenomena.

In the last years of his life, Henry David Thoreau created something new. Part blueprint for a major new work, part scientific chart, and part re-envisioning of the way we experience the passage of time, Thoreau's Kalendar was more a tool than a text. Comprised of six multipage charts of general phenomena, the Kalendar was an instrument for recording not just natural and weather-related phenomena, but also the hidden relations among them--between the skies of one June and the skies of past and future Junes--relations we often feel but can't quite hold, rooted as we typically are in our own brief moment of linear time.
