Especially written for those who love the Transcendentalism of Thoreau and Emerson, and for those who want to explore mysticism, quantum physics, and synchronicity. American Literature teachers: it can be especially useful when teaching your Transcendentalism unit. Field of Dreams is the most useful way to demonstrate the major tenets of this movement, especially through the writings of Thoreau and Emerson. Students easily understand its concepts when filtered through Field of Dreams. If You Build It essays 2 through 4 are extremely useful to help make these connections. The book follows the tenents set forth by the director of the movie, Phil Adlen Robinson...who radically changed Shoeless Joe to create a very different movie vrs the book. People who go to the movie site in Iowa are often in search of deep meaning and healing. This book is an effective guide for that purpose.
