Tonight I submitted a 500 word essay for this upcoming book: Thoreau's Legacy: American Stories about Global Warming AN ONLINE ANTHOLOGY I also sent in several photographs of the Maui landscape to be considered. I will let you know if they choose to use my work.
The American outdoors has been central to some of this country's greatest books, from Henry David Thoreau's The Maine Woods to Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi. Writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Muir, Rachel Carson, Peter Matthiessen, and E.O. Wilson have inspired us to make positive changes in our lives with their wisdom and words about our lands, geographical riches, and wildlife.
Now it's time for new voices to inspire us to fight the dangers of global warming.
Your voices.
Your voices.
The Union of Concerned Scientists and Penguin Classics -- along with bookstores across the country -- are encouraging all aspiring writers and photographers to submit their personal stories and images about global warming for publication in a new online book, to be published in 2009, Thoreau's Legacy: American Stories about Global Warming.
The submission process is open to anyone in the United States through November 15, 2008. A panel of judges will select the top essays and photographs to be included in the book. Writers and photographers whose submissions are selected for publication will receive a limited edition printed copy of the book and will be invited to participate in book promotion activities.
