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.

评分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...
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,...
