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...
评分一本好书,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...
评分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...
