He identifies many plants and animals by both their popular and scientific names, records in detail the color and clarity of different bodies of water, precisely dates and describes the freezing and thawing of the pond, and recounts his experiments to measure the depth and shape of the bottom of the supposedly "bottomless" Walden Pond.īackground information Henry David Thoreau Thoreau makes precise scientific observations of nature as well as metaphorical and poetic uses of natural phenomena. Walden details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and-to some degree-a manual for self-reliance. The text is a reflection upon the author's simple living in natural surroundings. ![]() Walden ( / ˈ w ɔː l d ən/ first published in 1854 as Walden or, Life in the Woods) is a book by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau.

This is so important that “shares information” is the number one characteristic of a good virtual teammate, according to one survey. Leaders need to make focused effort to ensure that every employee has access to the same information. Knowledge sharing is a particular challenge in organizations where some workers are remote, and others are on-site. Will team meetings be moved online? Will a daily briefing email be instituted? If face-to-face work is standard in your organization, you’ll need to give thought to how knowledge can be shared remotely. ![]() ![]() ![]() And then became thoroughly obsessed by the play and the story of what happened to it.” “Alisa Solomon’s book Re-Dressing the Canon mentioned God of Vengeance and I was floored by it. “I was looking for a play to direct,” says Rebecca Taichman.
