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 \u003ci\u003eKalendar\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\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":"ALLIANCE DIST - SF","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41859707764869,"sku":"PR433489","price":102.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TTG7BJOSMTEA.jpg?v=1789106825","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.co.nz\/products\/keeping-time","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
