A Sand County Almanac has sold millions of copies and his lyrical writings are venerated for their perceptions about land and how people might live in concert with the whole community of life. <br><br><br><br>But who is the man behind the words? How did he arrive at his profound and poetic insights, inspiring generations of environmentalists? Building on past scholarship and a fresh study of Leopold's unpublished archival materials, Julianne Lutz Newton retraces the intellectual journey that generated such passion and intelligence.<br><br><br><br>Aldo Leopold's Odyssey illuminates his lifelong quest for answers to a fundamental issue: how can people live prosperously on the land and keep it healthy, too? Leopold's journey took him from Iowa to Yale to the Southwest to Wisconsin, with fascinating stops along the way to probe the causes of early land settlement failures, contribute to the emerging science of ecology, and craft a new vision for land use.<br><br><br><br>More than a biography, this articulate volume is a guide to one man's intellectual growth, and an inspirational resource for anyone pondering the relationships between people and the land. 14574 2006 Aldo Leopold's Odyssey: Rediscovering the Author of a Sand County Almanac total:4|5:1|4:2|3:1| 4 16 16 1 0 0 false false Fri Jul 10 16:22:20 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 15:47:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Aug 30 08:04:54 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 08:04:54 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jun 30 12:21:41 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 12:21:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 23 12:25:23 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 12:25:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 06 19:52:44 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 19:52:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 19 17:28:23 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 17:28:23 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 03 11:48:25 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 11:57:30 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Sep 02 12:29:42 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 12:29:42 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 20 10:04:44 -0700 2008 Mon Dec 08 11:14:33 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Aug 02 12:59:12 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 02 12:59:12 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jul 29 10:57:26 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 29 10:57:26 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat May 31 14:49:53 -0700 2008 Sat May 31 14:49:53 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Apr 15 10:36:32 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 10:36:36 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Feb 19 23:50:32 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 23:50:36 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 18:22:45 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 01 19:26:01 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jul 19 15:30:18 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 19 15:30:22 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=12260
