In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World is a vintage classic that pairs passages by writer Henry David Thoreau with images by photographer Eliot Porter. Ahead of its time, this bestselling—and long-out-of-print—classic monograph was first published in 1962. Porter masterfully created color photographs of the New England woods to pair with the writings of Henry David Thoreau.

First published by Porter and Sierra Club founder David BrowerThe finished “collaboration" arrived in an era when environmental causes were not as prominent in the public consciousness, yet the book became an overnight publishing success.
