First published in 1949 and praised inThe New York Times Book Reviewas “a trenchant book, full of vigor and bite,”�A Sand County Almanaccombines some of the finest nature writing since Thoreau with an outspoken and highly ethical regard for America’s relationship to the land. Written with an unparalleled understanding of the ways of nature, the book includes a section on the monthly changes of the Wisconsin countryside; another part that gathers informal pieces written by Leopold over a forty-year period as he traveled through the woodlands of Wisconsin, Iowa, Arizona, Sonora, Oregon, Manitoba, and elsewhere; and a final section in which Leopold addresses the philosophical issues involved in wildlife conservation. As the forerunner of such important books as Annie Dillard’sPilgrim at Tinker Creek, Edward Abbey’sDesert Solitaire, and Robert Finch’sThe Primal Place, this classic work remains as relevant today as it was forty years ago.ISBN-13:9780199743872Publisher:Oxford University PressPublication date:12/31/1968Series:Galaxy BooksSold by:Barnes & NobleSales rank:141,587
