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
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《沙郡年记》被视为“环保界的圣经”，其内容涵盖了生态学、哲学、文学、历史等多方面的知识。而被誉为“现代环保之父”的李奥帕德则如同先知以塞亚。他提出的《土地伦理》堪称《沙郡年记》中最精典之作，不仅论及了人类对自然所应肩负的道德和责任，更告诫人类如果不摒弃土地...
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...
评分一、关于自然文学 终于读完了《沙郡岁月》。这离我初次接触自然文学已快十年，十年后我依然对此情有独钟，倒是甚感欣慰。 初次接触自然文学，是高中时在学校图书馆借阅的《大自然的日历》（Nature's Diary），作者是苏联散文家米·普里什文（Михаил Пришвин，M...
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，...
