As we enter a new century of dramatic changes in our ways of seeing and perceiving, the publication of To See offers an opportunity for readers to revisit the deeply poeticc and profound insights that Thoreau, nearly a century and a half ago, experienced and wrote about the natural world. The hauting and evocative black-and-white photographs of Helen Buttfield, who, with great artistry and sensitivity, brought together her own understanding and images of the natural world with those of Thoreau, are an inspiration for each of us to see what is always there-and somehow and always, beyond.
