A sensitive and scholarly biography of Thoreau from Salt, an English renaissance man known for his espousal of vegetarianism, campaigning for education and prison reform, devotion to animal rights, and for being the person who introduced Thoreau's beliefs and writings to Mohandas Ghandi,at least partially influencing his philosophies regarding vegetarianism and pacifism. Notably ahead of his time in reference to social reform and animal rights, he was of the belief that little beneficial change could occur until humanity acknowledged its close relationship with the animal kingdom, refered to in his writings as "lower races", and began to view life as a universal brotherhood rather than a spectrum of higher and lower orders.
