"A fast–paced but powerful, moving treasure trove of life lessons Gessner divined by spending a year making the best he could of a global tragedy." — WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF BOOKS
When the pandemic struck, nature writer David Gessner turned to Henry David Thoreau, the original social distancer, for lessons on how to live. Those lessons—of learning our own backyard, re-wilding, loving nature, self-reliance, and civil disobedience—hold a secret that could help save us as we face the greater crisis of climate.
