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's <i>Pilgrim at Tinker Creek</i>, Edward Abbey's <i>Desert Solitaire</i>, and Robert Finch's <i>The Primal Place</i>, this classic work remains as relevant today as it was forty years ago. 321811 1966 A Sand County Almanac total:1660|5:745|4:580|3:270|2:57|1:8| 1660 6977 2316 238 4 1 false false Wed Feb 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 19:19:55 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 08:11:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Mar 06 21:47:03 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 22:14:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 14 18:06:32 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 20:30:37 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Feb 24 08:28:54 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 08:31:13 -0800 2008 Aldo Leopold grants his readers the supreme privilege of seeing nature through the original ecologist's eyes.
