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.
我喜欢一棵年轻的北美白杨,因为有一天,它会老去。 ——(美)阿尔多·李奥帕德 想起大学同窗兔子曾写过一篇关于《沙郡年记》的文章,似乎是马哲的作业,写的是什么早已忘记,只是隐约记得厚厚的一叠文字。那时的我,对于环境伦理还是一无所知,直到...
評分文笔逆天的既是作者也是译者,金句太多,只做了简单摘录。一个已经被自然劝服的人是幸运的,他必然谦逊、平静而悲悯,所以才会有这样天然灵巧且充满智慧的文字。你带我看一座山,一棵树,一条溪,将它们层层叠叠堆砌在我脚下,于是可见时光,可见星辰。我原本应该静默倾听,但...
評分大 地 上 的 事 情 ——从《沙郡年纪》到《一九九八 廿四节气》 在大地上我们只过一生。 ——叶赛宁 1987年5月19日,苇岸在日记中写道:“今天海子来找关于大地的书。他说至今还没有看到一部这样的书,梭罗的《凡尔登湖》沾点边。我提到汉姆生的《大地的成长》和俄罗斯...
評分一月,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...
評分以前的作业 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...
