Overview

This book connects the awakening of hope that led to the election of Barack Obama with a rebirth of Emerson's great Dream of this new yet unapproachable America . This is the first book to combine Emerson's energising teachings for individuals with the theme of achieving America's unique promise as a nation. It is a timely message about the ground of our being and the future of our country and offers strength and confidence to readers who dream (as Emerson did) of an America devoted to equality, social justice, and economic opportunity for all its citizens.

In these pages the mind and heart of Emerson show us why we are here, both as Americans, and as individual human beings in the vast, universal world. Geldard's book offers a landmark interpretation of America's greatest philosopher.--Jacob Needleman, author of What Is God? and The American Soul
