In some of these objects, particularly Indigenous artifacts, Thoreau perceived the presence of their original makers, and he called such objects \"mindprints.\" Thoreau believed that these collections could teach him how his experience, his world, fit into the wider, more diverse (even incoherent) assemblage of other worlds created and re-created by other beings every day. In this book, Ivan Gaskell explores how a profound environmental aesthetics developed from this insight and shaped Thoreau's broader thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan Gaskell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.14w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226836072","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43195575042185,"sku":"9780226836072","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_6b774e1f-96cb-4517-ad0e-8c065c230941.jpg?v=1733862917","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/mindprints-thoreaus-material-worlds-9780226836072","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
