mentioned emerson had read the transcendentalists and you know i think of them back east emerson thoreau others he was a real wild man, you know, out here on the west coast where, you know, human settlement, westerners, i should say european settlement was relatively new and he was discovering places or experiencing them early on. i mean it in a way. he was sort of i mean, can you talk a little bit about that transcendental spiritualism he was finding in these really dramatic places? yeah. muir was something of an autodidact but he did go to the university of at madison for two years and his professors there were loved emerson and thoreau and muir started keeping a like emerson at the time which he he he wrote his name on one of his journals, john muir planet earth the universe. so he's a bit of a, you know, early hippie and and but but emerson carried of emerson around and also of thoreau and in burns poet and all these ideas about nature were of coming together of burns in his poetry talks, you know, about the sorrow of trampling on flowers or, you know, the mouse that has been branded

[laughter] but he carries a volume of emerson around and also of thoreau and burns the poet.ll of these ideas about nature work coming together. burns in his poetry talks about the sorrow of trampling on flowers. b or the mouse that has been branded something that no one at once and how sad that is. it's a living animal. the love of the small things in nature. the appreciation for animals, trees, plant life is all kind of new at the same time america is destroying the passenger pigeon it is wiping out the bison. it is clear cutting the trees from coast-to-coast. these are new ideas. he is going to echo what emerson and throat believe and really bring it to a popular audience. so one of things as most is mostsurprised by and readingr book, i knew about from reading a few of his writings thousand miles walk to the gulf. i always thought of him a as a naturalist, a conservation list. what i did not realize was how brilliant he was and how varied his brilliance became part can you talk a little bit about the wisconsin childhood? some of the other interests and then what led him t

politics so adam adam begins the book in a way you you might not expect he invokes both henry david thoreau and the political philosopher hannah arendt and i know if i it were possible to eavesdrop on a conversation between those two human beings, i would give up a lot in order to do so adam and folks thoreau because the row had a very precient idea that that forest could be held in in common for the public good and then he invokes hannah or rents idea her metaphor of a table as a place as as a metaphor for the the public sphere a table being a place where citizens can gather and and find thing approaching common ground and i think adam will start with a short reading from the introduction that on that second metaphor. thank you, michelle. this will be a fairly short reading. this table metaphor works to guide us through the history of american public lands. and it helps us think about the public lands as part of the democratic experiment. that is the united states. it takes no great leap of insight to find faults and failures in meeting the promises of democracy for the nation is rooted in

so so can you talk a little bit how you see the role of of emerson and thoreau in particular in building this? well, you know, so emerson's famous book was self-built science through, wrote walden right on walden and i kind of have a lot of fun at their biographies because when he was writing walden even writes about this, he had seats for company like this is i writing this book during the pandemic i was like through the entertaining lately i think this is not right and then and would over to his mother's house to get his laundry done exactly and what with emerson emerson is like a more kind of conventional intellectual figure but he got money from his deceased wife's estate to pay for the he depended on services of his wife, second wife lydian, who clean the house top to bottom. and the day she gave birth. and so it's a part what i was trying to show in this is that there is dependance at the center and a lot of it's around gender too in race, right at the center of a lot of the kind of people who are proclaiming self-reliance in american literature. letters. right. and i, i almost i w

and, you know, i read a of thoreau's jottings like that too he would throw his for noting when certain flowers first bloomed and when the last leaves are what trees at the end of the season and all of that stuff and you know, immersing yourself and it's an antidote you know, we spend so much of our time now. i'm not saying the things that we salivate over on television aren't worth being worked up about, but there's something else going on in the world. it's also worth noticing. and, you know, the more you at least counterbalance with that kind of of tactile while, you know, the unfolding of the season, the whole event is just and that it was an exercise in noticing for the most part you were oh let's forget the water bottle jerk pretty well receive it absolutely right. yeah. did you ever think about what your reception would have been if. you were a 55 year old black man walking doing that. well, i did a lot and i wrote about that a fair bit. i have two thoughts on that subject. the one is i wouldn't for a second act as if i faced risk being what i am walking down the road than all ki

again, in the 19th century if you're thinking about people like thoreau, for example, a wonderful writers associated with of course some very, very important intellectualel traditions and advocacy, and to support of civil disobedience and his famous life on walden pond and all these things m which made it more ofe a person for the age, forever in that respect whereas burroughs again didn't have that kind of input. i'm sorry. please, go hand. >> i certainly know the name, we all do, john burroughs but i confess i'm not familiar with his writing. did he write specifically about geographical areas? >> he wrote -- >> was a just general matrix? >> all kinds of things. he traveled around the united states there he was out in the west so his writing about that he wrote about birds in particular. he wrote about rivers. he was just a journalist really when it came right down to it. dashing generalist. >> yes. >> so you said in the 1870s that washington kind of started to lose kind of the farmland and stuff serenity area. what was the reason for the courts wasn't just expansion of the city and win

i thought hard and by first choice is henry david thoreau. i just loved his book and cape cod and the woods. then i added rachel carson, who i have loved her thinking so much and charles goldwyn -- charles darwin, to show good writing can be messed with exploration. jenn: david, your background? david: i thought you were going to ask about the dinner.

in my mind as henry david thoreau and rachel carson.hen you're really getting into how to write about a natural area her writing is much more -- make its two levels advance the national geographical. it's really special. one for big fans or the kennedy family. they left her books. do you know john f. kennedy's mother grew up in concord, massachusetts man, picnicking in walden pond everyday question at the kennedy kids did not learn to swim in the ocean where they learn to swim in walden pond did you release john f. kennedy's mother made a mission to russia to investigate whether they collected works were in the libraries in russia? do you realize her favorite book and essay was a book called cape cod? all about the outer cape the outer caper son, john f. kennedy would sign as the cape cod national seashore in 1961. and when i sit national seashores when kennedy became president we had one. cape hatteras. hardwoods on coastal areas. if i were present or jimmy carter were present a lot of people say save this many acres of alaska. it is m

and nonetheless, they were followers of thoreau and emerson. and in my art history, try to write about the artists to, bring them to life. and in my fiction, i try to set the landscape. i tried to set the world in place and time that the books unfold. so i use, if you will, my, my artist, i, my i in fiction set the scene. and this very much the case in gods of deception, which is set in the catskills, a place i know well and love and a marvelous mckim and white house with 15th century italian painted ceiling that depicts the cosmos the gods and goddesses. the signs of the zodiac are many universes. if you were a ptolemaic universe that overhangs the family home hermitage as, it's called so the art in the ceiling represents home and a place that is much loved in the family and in terms of the characters you mentioned george and his sidekick wendy, who is an artist and i used them as two ways of looking and exploring for the truth about alger hiss. that is the artist's eye through the literary eye, through a woman who was a climber, who was a ver

i would put benjamin mays as greater influence than thoreau, niebuhr and gandhi, even because benjamin mays offered a vision that was just subtly different enough from what his father offered from what martin luther king senior offered. martin luther king jr was like a lot of us a little embarrassed. his father, he was a country preacher. his grammar wasn't good. his speeches were very his sermons were very emotional, you know, he shouted and he stomped. and young. martin felt like he wanted to be where than that. and he wanted to be more of an outright activist he wanted to make if he if he was going to be a priest a preacher, he was going to use it to fight jim crow, not just to lead his community and uplift his community, but to get on the front lines. the fight against crime. benjamin mays offered vision of how to do that. benjamin mays combined mind the preaching and the the intellectual rigor and the discipline to to do something with yourself. he said, you know, morehouse, morehouse men had a responsibility. and i think martin luther king really felt like that's the kind of man
