Reviews
"A Sand County Almanac seems unassuming, a collection of poetic vignettes about run-down farmland and wilderness trips seasoned with erudite historical reflections. Yet it has sold over a million copies, and it has added a significant ethical concept to the prophecies of Thoreau, John Muirand other voices in the wilderness...Oxford University Press's handsome new commemorative edition will be welcomed by afficionados..."--The New York Times Book Review, "By a born naturalist, true sportsman and able writer. Delightful essays....[Leopold] develops a fine concept of conservation, not economic, but basically ethical, urging the need for an ecological conscience. Recommended."--Library Journal"Outdoor prose writing at its best....A trenchant book, full of beauty and vigor and bite."--The New York Times Book Review"We have Sand County Almanac to demonstrate just how exceptional Leopold was in his highly informed passion for land. [This] handsome new commemorative edition will be welcomed by afficionados whose paperback copies have gone the way of paper acid. It contains the fine original drawings of Charles W. Schartz, and is highly recommended to anyone who might care to glimpse the plateau forests of Arizona in 1909, the green lagoons of the Colorado Deltain 1922, or the guacamaja parrot flocks of Chihuahua in 1936 through the eyes of a man who was there in body and spirit."--The New York Times Book Review"To read this book is not only to acquire much useful information, but to develop a keener eye and a sharper ear for the world of nature and a greater respect for the land."--The Christian Science Monitor"We can place this book on the shelf that holds the writings of Thoreau and John Muir."--San Francisco Chronicle"We may count ourselves lucky to have this final testament of a man who was not only an expert in forestry, ecology, and game management, but an exceptionally sensitive and subtle appreciator and communicator."--Commonweal"One of the most beautiful, heart-warming and important nature books to appear in years."--The Chicago Tribune"There is a rudeness and vigor to Leopold's writing that goes directly to the heart of the subject and to the heart of the reader. His Almanac is one of the seminal works of the environmental movement and much admired....As important a book today as when it was first published in 1949."--The Boston Globe"There will be many for whom this special edition, commemorating the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Aldo Leopold, will be their first and long overdue encounter with the Sand County Almanac. For many it will undoubtedly be a joyful encounter, not least because it is so well written and because of the way in which the personality of Leopold engages so directly with the reader as he traces the monthly changes in the Wisconsin countryside."--TheTimes (London)"A Sand County Almanac seems unassuming, a collection of poetic vignettes about run-down farmland and wilderness trips seasoned with erudite historical reflections.

Synopsis
Once again HighBridge is pleased to offer an extraordinary collection from leading American nature authors. Originally published by NorthWord Audio Press, now re-released with new packaging, each story explores the bond that connects the land and humans. For Lopez, the connection is spiritual and transforming; for Doig, the land is both the forge that shapes us and the cord tying us to family; for Leopold, the environment is the touchstone that puts the past and the future into perspective. Engaging and enchanting, these audios are wonderful choices for all those who love nature and the environment., This special edition of the highly acclaimed A Sand County Almanac commemorates the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Aldo Leopold, one of the foremost conservationists of our century. First published in 1949 and praised in The New York Times Book Review as "full of beauty and vigor and bite," A Sand County Almanac combines some of the finest nature writing since Thoreau with an outspoken and highly ethical regard for America'srelationship to the land.The volume includes a section on the monthly changes of the Wisconsin countryside; another section that gathers together the informal pieces written by Leopold over a forty-yearperiod as he traveled around the woodlands of Wisconsin, Iowa, Arizona, Sonora, Oregon, Manitoba, and elsewhere; and a final section in which Leopold addresses more formally the philosophical issues involved in wildlife conservation. As the forerunner of such important books as Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire, and Robert Finch's The Primal Place, this classic work remains as relevant today as it was forty years ago., This special edition of the highly acclaimed A Sand County Almanac commemorates the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Aldo Leopold, one of the foremost conservationists of our century.

Unfortunately, my experience with SecondSale was terrible from beginning to end. Four out of the five books in the set I ordered were missing, and instead of simply receiving a refund or a replacement, I have to repackage the one book that did arrive and drive it to the post office. It doesn't seem right that the buyers should have to go through all the trouble when it was the sellers who made the mistake...? I won't take the risk of ordering from them again.
