Thoreau wove ancient human and non-human understandings of time into the Concord of his present while resisting the historical pressures of his own world. To see the world more clearly, and to help save it from our worst human actions, Thoreau argued, we need to step outside of our ordinary perception of time and seize the moment. This collection of essays addresses some of the implications of Thoreau's manifold explorations of the nature of time and their meaning for his world and ours.
