Book Title
A Sand County Almanac: And Sketches Here and There
Author
Aldo Leopold
ISBN
9780197500262
Few books have had a greater impact than A Sand County Almanac, which many credit with launching a revolution in land management. Written as a series of sketches based principally upon the flora and fauna in a rural part of Wisconsin, the book, originally published by Oxford in 1949, 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; a final section addresses the philosophical issues involved in wildlife conservation. Beloved for its description and evocation of the natural world, Leopold's book, which has sold well over 2 million copies, remains a foundational text in environmental science and a national treasure.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Aldo LeopoldPublisher: Oxford University Press, USAPublished: 05/01/2020ISBN: 9780197500262Pages: 240Weight: 0.60lbsSize: 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.70d
