A Sand County Almanac: And Sketches Here and There
Autor Aldo Leopolden Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mar 2020
'There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot,' begins Aldo Leopold's totemic work of ecological thought. Ranging from lyrical observations of the changing seasons over a year on his Wisconsin farm to his hugely influential idea of a 'land ethic' signifying moral equilibrium between humans and all other life on earth,A Sand County Almanacchanged perceptions of the natural world and helped give birth to the modern conservation movement.
'An unequivocal statement of conscience that will carry down the generations ... his argument seems more urgently true now than ever'The New York Times

Notă biografică
Considered
by
many
to
be
the
father
of
wildlife
ecology,Aldo
Leopold(1887
-
1948)
was
a
conservationist,
forester,
philosopher,
educator,
writer,
and
outdoor
enthusiast.
Among
his
best-known
ideas
is
the
"land
ethic,"
set
out
inA
Sand
County
Almanac(1949),
which
calls
for
humankind's
'ethical
community'
to
expand
and
include
'soils,
waters,
plants,
and
animals,
or
collectively:
the
land,'
and
'changes
the
role
ofHomo
sapiensfrom
conquerer
of
the
land-community
to
plain
member
and
citizen
of
it'.
Recenzii
Wise
and
lyrical
meditations
on
environmental
ethics,
human
and
natural
history,
and
the
passage
of
time.
Some
measure
of
how
fiercely
good
it
is:
a
well-read,
retired
U.S.
Army
colonel
once
told
me
that
he
considered
Leopold
to
be
better
than
Shakespeare
