In some of these objects, particularly Indigenous artefacts, Thoreau perceived the presence of their original makers, and he called such objects \u003cem\u003emindprints\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThoreau believed that these collections could teach him how his experience, his world, fit into the wider, more diverse (even incoherent) assemblage of other worlds created and re-created by other beings every day. In this book, Ivan Gaskell explores how a profound environmental aesthetics developed from this insight and shaped Thoreau's broader thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000684527852,"sku":"9780226836072","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20589003482268.jpg?v=1763296821","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mindprints-by-ivan-gaskell-9780226836072","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
