"On tops of mountains, as everywhere to hopeful souls, it is always morning," Thoreau wrote. J. Parker Huber is along for the climb, comparing what Thoreau say in his era to what we can see today.

Thoreau developed ideas fundamental to ecology fifty years before that word was coined. He called for a science that would join man and nature-a "conscience," a moral knowledge founded on material faith.
