Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac is a seminal work of wildlife ecology, first published in 1949.
Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) was a forester and conservationist whose writings on wildlife ecology sowed the seeds of contemporary environmental thought.
Wise and lyrical meditations on environmental ethics, human and
natural history, and the passage of time. Some measure of how
fiercely good it is: a well-read, retired U.S. Army colonel once
told me that he considered Leopold to be better than
Shakespeare

insights rooted in intelligent humility that inform naturalists to
this day
