Website Under Construction

In July 2025 I began upgrading my website with the help of Bri Diaz in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.  I’m now in the process of deleting, updating, and rewriting many of the pages.  Please bear with me the inconvenience of a site under construction.

One of the additions to the upgraded site is a tab on the homepage titled “Earthly Matters,” which will be my site for random blog postings about whatever catches my attention.

This is the table of contents page for the first ever Guide to Walden Pond, which I published in 2018 to commemorate the bicentennial of Thoreau’s birth year.
