　　Emerson's plea fro an "American Scholar." He is best known for his book Wa/den， a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings， and his essay， Civi/ Disobedience， an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state.
　　Thoreau's books， articles， essays， journals， and poetry total over 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions were his writings on natural history and philosophy， where he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history， two sources of modern day environmentalism. His literary style interweaves close natural observation， personal experience， pointed rhetoric， symbolic meanings， and historical lore; while displaying a poetic sensibility， philosophical austerity， and "Yankee" love of practical detail. He was also deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements， historical change， and natural decay; at the same time imploring one to abandon waste and illusion in order to discover life's true essential needs. Thoreau' masterpiece Wa/den was based on his own experience at Walden Pond， where he built himself a hut nearby and lived a simple life.　Wa/den can be interpreted from more than one perspective. It is a book on self-culture and human perfectibility. Thoreau holds the belief that man should live a self-sufficient life and strives to achieve personal spiritual affection. （Chang 67） In this book， he records how he tries to minimize his own needs on Walden Pond. He calls for "simplicity， simplicity， simplicity....simplify! Simplify!" repeatedly. He wanted to get back to the naked simplicity of life， where he might "subdue and cultivate a few cubic feet of flesh， chew the cud of his thoughts， and get to the very core of universe， by living deep and sucking out all the marrow of life." His desire was to love wisdom...to solve some problems of life， not theoretically， but practically." For him， spiritual richness is real wealth. He wanted neither to be interfered with nor to interfere with others. And he declared， "I would not have anyone adopt my mode of living， each should find out his own way， not his neighbor's or his parents."　Wa/den exhibits "Thoreau's calm trust in the future and his ardent belief in the new generation of men （Chang： 68）".
　　Thoreau's residence at the Walden Pond was interrupted by a day's imprisonment for his refusal to pay a poll tax to a government that supported the Mexico War.
