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.

我希望每个看到这个书评的人都来读一读。看看美国在一个世纪以前，为了发展经济，为了房地产，都做了些什么。看看那时候的人，都是怎么样对待土地的，怎么样认识土地的。再想想今天的我们，都正在做些什么。 我不知道这本小册子在历史上有着怎样的地位。当我读这本书的时候，感...
評分 評分陌生的大自然 “曾经有一段时间，绅士和淑女们喜爱在田野上漫游，他们这么做并不是为了要知道这个世界是如何形成的，而是为了要搜集一些午茶时间的话题。这是一个将所有的鸟都称作‘小鸟儿’的时代，一个以拙劣的诗文表达植物学的时代，一个所有当代人都只会叫嚷着‘自然...
評分一本好书，带给人的滋味，是每一页翻过去，都有意犹未尽的不舍与喜悦。当合上书扉，会感激生命中竟有这样的相遇，不早不晚，降生于这本书出现的年代之后、人类文明消逝之前。 《沙郡年记》于我，就是这样的一本好书。虽是译文，文字的优美，仍然让人心醉。它不仅源于作者的文...
評分Aldo Leopold基金会在Facebook上贴了一封旧书信。这是Aldo Leopold去世后书的出版编辑写给他妻子的一封信，关于书名的确定和其中一篇文章的删留。“沙郡年纪”这个名字的确比其它的都好，Almanac也正是这个书名的灵魂。当年逛书店时，就是因为这个名字才发现了这本书，也成了我...
