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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining reproductions of Thoreau's hand-drawn charts with transcriptions of the \u003ci\u003eKalendar\u003c\/i\u003e's text and essays by acclaimed poet and scholar Kristen Case, this gorgeously crafted volume illuminates the final project of one of America's most treasured writers and naturalists and offers a timeless, transformative vision of how to live harmoniously with the living world around us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376778445023,"sku":"9781571311597","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/usXNWXt9Yx9781571311597.webp?v=1789225313"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/kristen-case.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
