There were some lovely and thought provoking sentiments in this, along with pretty photos. Some of the photos suffer from the age they were taken in, printed color photographs (which had true colors), in books was just becoming feasible in the 1960s. The photographer has an artist's eye, and he tried to keep them thematic and complementary to Thoreau's writings.

They featuere the wildness - the chaos of mountains and forest regions, plains and deserts, rivers and coastlines. Porter selects the photographs to illustrate the orderly disorder described in James Gleick's recent book, "Chaos". In an essay of 10,000 words, and in text accompanying the photographs, James Gleick describes the links being forged between the abstractions of science and the vivid images of natural beauty.
