Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac has enthralled generations of nature lovers and conservationists and is indeed revered by everyone seriously interested in protecting the natural world. Hailed for prose that is "full of beauty and vigor and bite" (The New York Times), it is perhaps the finest example of nature writing since Thoreau's Walden.
Now this classic work is available in a completely redesigned and lavishly illustrated gift edition, featuring over one hundred beautiful full-color pictures by Michael Sewell, one of the country's leading nature photographers. Sewell, whose work has graced the pages of Audubon and Sierra magazines, walked Leopold's property in Wisconsin and shot these photographs specifically for this edition, allowing readers to see Sand County as Leopold saw it. The resulting layout is spectacular. But the heart of the book remains Leopold's carefully rendered observations of nature. Here we follow Leopold throughout the year, from January to December, as he walks about the rural Wisconsin landscape, watching a woodcock dance skyward in golden afternoon light, or spying a rough-legged hawk dropping like a feathered bomb on its prey. And perhaps most important are Leopold's trenchant comments throughout the book on our abuse of the land and on what we must do to preserve this invaluable treasure. This edition also includes two of Leopold's most eloquent essays on conservation, "The Land Ethic" and "Marshland Elegy."
With this gift edition of A Sand County Almanac, a new generation of readers can walk beside one of America's most respected naturalists as he conveys the beauty of a marsh before sunrise or the wealth of history to be found in an ancient oak.

读后感
作者是一个自然科学领域的学者，但这本书却同时也显露出他在人文以及哲学方面的造诣，非常难得！ 我印象比较深的一段是第二部份地景的特质开头一段： “有一天，我俯伏着， 我的眼睛正吸收着沼泽的知识。 一只弗吉尼亚秧鸡几乎触着我的鼻子， 一只鹈鹕的影子从水塘上方掠过，...
评分所有的野地保护都是与目标背道而驰的，因为，为了珍惜野地，我们必须观看野地、爱抚野地，等到我们看够了，爱抚过了，我们也失去了可以珍爱的野地了。P133 或许每个年轻人都必须偶尔进行一次野地之旅，以便明白这种自由的意义。P147 倘使我们的孙子不曾看过野地的河流，那么，...
评分大 地 上 的 事 情 ——从《沙郡年纪》到《一九九八 廿四节气》 在大地上我们只过一生。 ——叶赛宁 1987年5月19日，苇岸在日记中写道：“今天海子来找关于大地的书。他说至今还没有看到一部这样的书，梭罗的《凡尔登湖》沾点边。我提到汉姆生的《大地的成长》和俄罗斯...
评分“野生的东西在开始被摈弃之前，一直和风吹日落一样，是极其平常而自然的。现在我们所面临的问题是：一种平静的较高的‘生活水准’，是否值得以牺牲自然的、野外的和无拘无束的东西为代价。对我们少数人来说，能有机会看到大雁比看电视更为重要，能有机会看到一朵白头翁花就如...
评分以前的作业 我一度十分反感许多中国作家有关环境与生态的散文。他们总是慷慨激昂地斥责现代文明的发展，哀叹田园生活的逝去。在这些人眼里，高速发展的人类社会似乎早已与大自然这个概念格格不入。 他们的许多忧虑的确不无道理，终日生活在钢筋水泥的森林里，每个人都会怀疑自...
