“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.”
