Photo archive for class
I've posted my photos of the course at flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/90873086@N00/) I encourage everyone else who has photos to do the same. I'll try to get some videos up also. You may find all this useful in putting together your wiki.
"You will get very little from Walden if you read it hunting for contradictions, if you make a great fuss over the fact that he had dinner in town with friends sometimes. There is much to dispute with Thoreau, but the useful disagreements lie in the essentials, not the details." - Bill McGibbon, from an annotation for Walden.
Economy section of Thoreau's Walden (with commentary)
