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 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，...
