"What Would Henry Do?: Essays for the 21st Century" by Thoreau Farm Trust features an essay written and signed by former NYC police detective Frank Serpico, who was the subject of a book, movie and a few documentaries. Many might know Frank Serpico for his exposing corruption in the NYC police department in the mid-1970s.

What Would Henry Do also includes essays by Jimmy Carter, Gregory Maguire, Laura Dassow Walls, Ed Begley, Jr., and many more Thoreau activists and scholars seeking to answer the question What Would Henry Do? when faced with modern social, political and environmental issues. 

Today on our little planet, we live in bewildering times. We are essentially faced with this question: what should we be thinking, saying and doing about the challenges bearing down upon our lives? Answers can be hard to come by. Yet we, the community of Thoreau Farm, believe we have to search for them. So we wondered, if Henry David Thoreau were alive today, what would HE think, what HE say, what would HE do?, Ken Lizotte, President, Thoreau Farm Trust
