A Sand County Almanac With Essays on Conservation from Round River

by Aldo Leopold

Timeless nature reflections, conservation's ethical cornerstone.

If nature whispers to you, Aldo Leopold's writing will roar. In "A Sand County Almanac," you'll find an elegant testament to the power and beauty of the wilderness, and a persuasive argument for conservation that's both poetic and pragmatic. Should you care deeply about the environment and cherish the idea of preserving nature's wonders for posterity, Leopold's lyrical journey through America's landscapes will likely resonate with you profoundly.

Description

The environmental classic that redefined the way we think about the natural world—an urgent call for preservation that’s more timely than ever. “We can place this book on the shelf that holds the writings of Thoreau and John Muir.”— San Francisco Chronicle These astonishing portraits of the natural world explore the breathtaking diversity of the unspoiled American landscape—the mountains and the prairies, the deserts and the coastlines. Conjuring up one extraordinary vision after another, Aldo Leopold takes readers with him on the road and through the seasons on a fantastic tour of our priceless natural resources, explaining the destructive effects humankind has had on the land and issuing a bold challenge to protect the world we love.
