Thoreau and Into the Wild articles

Here's a New York Times article from today about how Thoreau's notes and journals are being used to track climate change in New England over the last 150 years. A funny line from one of the researchers: "Thoreau had incredibly messy handwriting. That was a big difficulty."

And a National Geographic Adventure article about Sean Penn, Jon Krakauer, and the making of Into the Wild.
