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《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“野生的东西在开始被摈弃之前,一直和风吹日落一样,是极其平常而自然的。现在我们所面临的问题是:一种平静的较高的‘生活水准’,是否值得以牺牲自然的、野外的和无拘无束的东西为代价。对我们少数人来说,能有机会看到大雁比看电视更为重要,能有机会看到一朵白头翁花就如...
评分大 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...
