The Daily Henry David Thoreau: A Year of Quotes from the Man Who Lived in Season"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of each." Modernity rules our lives by clock and calendar, dividing the stream of time into units and coordinating every passing moment with the universal globe.

"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of each." Modernity rules our lives by clock and calendar, dividing the stream of time into units and coordinating every passing moment with the universal globe. Henry David Thoreau subverted both clock and calendar, using them not to regulate time's passing but to open up and explore its presence. This little volume thus embodies, in small compass, Thoreau's own ambition to "live in season"--to turn with the living sundial of the world, and, by attuning ourselves to nature, to heal our modern sense of discontinuity with our surroundings. Ralph Waldo Emerson noted with awe that from flowers alone, Thoreau could tell the calendar date within two days; children remembered long into adulthood how Thoreau showed them white waterlilies awakening not by the face of a clock but at the first touch of the sun. As Thoreau wrote in Walden, "Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is." Drawn from the full range of Thoreau's journals and published writings, and arranged according to season, The Daily Henry David Thoreau allows us to discover the endless variation and surprise to be found in the repetitions of mundane cycles. Thoreau saw in the kernel of each day an earth enchanted, one he honed into sentences tuned with an artist's eye and a musician's ear. Thoreau's world lives on in his writing so that we, too, may discover, even in a fallen world, a beauty worth defending.Binding Type: Paperback

Barely qualifies as a product
Style: 12x10
This thing is a FAIL on so many levels that I can't even begin to describe how bad it is.
I bought the 12 x 15 press because I thought it would be fun to have a smaller press at the house that I could use to knock out things like mouse pads and coasters when I didn't feel like going to my studio and using my other machines.
What a mistake.
Uneven heat is just one of the issues.
The biggest problem is that when you pull the arm down instead of the springs, adjusting to any height that might come from a coaster or a mouse pad, the whole heat plate just gets pushed back in the pylon, while at the same time, the platform holding the unattached rubber plate tilts down at the front, causing it to sit crooked and not work. It overheats the pieces in the back and under heats the pieces in the front because of the gap it creates..
It's awful .
The timer didn't work . The temperature begins to go down as soon as you start applying the heat plate.
It ruined everything it touched .
Lesson learned - I've been in this business for a long time and I should've known better but I thought for the light duty minimal requirements that I wanted this would probably be OK but it's dismal . It's beyond dismal - buyer beware - don't say I didn't warn you.

Great machine but...
Style: 5in1-15x15-Blue
Great machine for the price. Served it's purpose well but after about 4 months of moderate use, the control box malfunctioned. OK, cool. Let's replace the control box. Easy, right? Wrong. You won't find a replacement here on Amazon. Maybe not anywhere on the internet. Luckily the warranty has me taken care of. Purchase with caution and know that this control box has a 5 pin input that you're not gonna be able to replace if it breaks or malfunctions.

Excellent press at a great value.
Style: 12x10
Press works very well. Heats up quickly and timer is a great feature. Have had no issue pressing vinyl transfers and embroidered patches. Great quality for the price. Much better than using a clothing iron.
