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.

自然辩证法布置的读书作业，顺手传上来吧 Part 1 从地球公民说起 在读《沙乡年鉴》之前，我恰好看了一个叫做《地球公民》（<Earthlings>）的片子，它描述了人类是如何为利用动物而制定出工业化的标准，去饲养、屠杀这些于我们同为“地球公民”的生物们，以及用它们去做科学实...
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，...

评分一月，和雪一样单纯和平静；而二月是落在斧子和锯子上的大风雪后的阳光；三月，大雁冲破了暖流的雾霭；四月，春潮引起了鲤鱼的热情；蒲公英吹拂过五月的土地，高原鹬在鸣唱；一条鳟鱼要在六月到上游去；七月的清晨，有启明星白色的尾光；后来河流拖着沙砾画了一幅八月的画；树...
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...
