'Aldo Leopold, author of the classic A Sand County Almanac, founder of the field of wildlife management, and starter of the national wilderness system, is revealed in this short, illustrated biography by Marybeth Lorbiecki.
Leopold dedicated his life to answering the question: "How do we live on the land without spoiling it'" And his work and writings inspire millions of people in their continued pursuit of the answers.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
"Aldo Leopold (1886-1948) is revered among environmentalists and naturalists for many reasons: as an officer of the U.S. Forest Service, he was instrumental in formulating policies that helped protect wildlands and wild animals; as an activist, he helped found the Wilderness Society and other public-interest organizations; and as a writer, he crafted a number of fine, philosophically charged essays and books, including his famous memoir, A Sand County Almanac. Marybeth Lorbiecki's overview of Leopold's life addresses each of these contributions in turn, and it does a good job of explaining why Leopold's influence should endure today. Of added interest are the many photographs Lorbiecki has discovered in family and government archives, images that help flesh out a figure who has, in ecological circles, become something of a saint--and, as a result, a little unreal. Curt Meine's Aldo Leopold: His Life and Work addresses Leopold's work in greater depth, but readers seeking a sense of his many contributions, and why they matter, will find much of value in Lorbiecki's well-written pages." --Gregory McNamee
