Henry David Thoreau and the Moral Agency of Knowing
Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 2001 (Paperback 2003).

From the back cover:
"Tauber's book is encyclopedic-not only a revealing and comprehensive study of Thoreau but also a full vision of the Romantic Weltanschauung and its relevance to contemporary concerns in philosophy, science, and poetics. While this scope is wildly ambitious, Tauber admirably delivers, always informing his parts with the whole, consistently altering the whole with his parts."
- Eric Wilson, author of Emerson's Sublime Science
