“Aldo Leopold, a man who died before I was born, is part of my inner circle. I always look forward to cracking open his door, A Sand County Almanac, for another chat.”Barbara Kingsolver (photo credit: Steven L. Hopp)

 

Through science, history, humor and prose, Leopold uses A Sand County Almanac to teach us the importance of treating the land with the love and respect that it deserves.

Don’t Take it From Us. Hear What Others Have to Say About A Sand County Almanac

“One of the most beautiful, heart-warming, and important nature books to appear in years.” – The Chicago Tribune

 

Delia Owens, Wildlife Scientist and Author of Where the Crawdads Sing:

“Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac was my first book of nature writing and changed my view of the world with such words as: ‘It is warm behind the driftwood now, for the wind has gone with the geese. So would I — if I were the wind.’ I still have my original, yellowed and marked-up copy and will never let it go.”

 

“Outdoor prose writing at its best…A trenchant book, full of beauty and vigor and bite…All through it is Leopold’s deep love for a healthy land.” – The New York Times Book Review

 

Drew Lanham, Ecologist and Author of The Home Place:

“A Sand County Almanac is the transcendentalist’s field guide to feeling. It’s a compendium of conservation thinking and feeling – and how that head/heart convergence inspires our treatment of nature and one another as indispensable ‘cogs’ in an interlocked existence. It is my spiritual ready reference to our ecological well-being and a how-to on seeing the whole and harmony in wildness.”
