A Sand County Almanac: and Sketches Here and There

Edit by Richard L. Knight and Suzanne Riedel. This collection of essays by prominent conservationists describes the influence and impact that the work of Aldo Leopold has added to the development of a holistic approach to conservation.

Previously unpublished essays edited by J. Baird Callicott and Eric T. Freyfogle. Throughout these essays Leopold continues to promote the concepts of "land health" set forth in ASCA.

The authoritative biography by Curt Meine places Leopold's intellectual and philosophical journey in the context of the emerging conservation movement from the turn of the 20th Century up until his untimely death in 1948 and the publication of A Sand County Almanac the following year. This is a must read for serious students of Leopold and the land ethic!

Aldo Leopold's Odyssey illuminates his lifelong quest for answers to a fundamental issue: how can people live prosperously on the land and keep it healthy, too? Leopold's journey took him from Iowa to Yale to the Southwest to Wisconsin, with fascinating stops along the way to probe the causes of early land settlement failures, contribute to the emerging science of ecology, and craft a new vision for land use. More than a biography, this articulate volume is a guide to one man's intellectual growth, and an inspirational resource for anyone pondering the relationships between people and the land.

Editors David Brown and Niel Carmony present twenty-six little-known essays and articles featuring Aldo Leopold's observations, thoughts, and critiques on conservation practices in the southwest. This volume documents the impact of Leopold's tenure in the southwest with the Us Forest Service (1909 - 1924) had upon his thinking and how this region continued to capture his imagination, concern, and hope until the time of his death.

Collection of essays edited by J. Baird Callicott, including contributions from noted Leopold scholars and conservation writers such as Susan Flader, Curt Meine and Roderick Nash. These contributors and others examine the conceptual architecture of Leopold's thought and writing, trace the threads of his main arguments, and relate the land ethic to tenets of modern moral theory.

Correction Lines is a new collection of essays from one of our most thoughtful and eloquent writers on conservation, Curt Meine. The essays explore interrelated themes: the relationship between biological and social dimensions; the historic tension between utilitarian and preservationist approaches; the integration of varied cultural perspectives; the enduring legacy of Aldo Leopold; the contrasts and continuities between conservation and environmentalism; the importance of political reform; and the need to “retool” conservation to address twentyfirst-century realities. Meine brings together a deep sense of history with powerful language and compelling imagery, yielding new insights into the origins and development of contemporary conservation. Correction Lines will help us think more clearly about the forces that have changed, and are changing, conservation, and inspire us to address current realities and future needs.

Here, three of the nation’s most knowledgeable experts on public lands examine the history of public lands in the United States and consider the most pressing environmental and social problems facing public lands. Drawing heavily on fellow Forest Service employee Aldo Leopold’s land ethic, they offer specific suggestions for new directions in policy and management that can help maintain and restore the health, diversity, and productivity of public land and water resources, both now and into the future. As chief of the Forest Service, Mike Dombeck became a lightning rod for public debate over issues such as the management of old-growth forests and protecting roadless areas. Dombeck also directed the Bureau of Land Management from 1994 to 1997 and is the only person ever to have led the two largest land management agencies in the United States. Chris Wood and Jack Williams have similarly spent their careers working to steward public resources, and the authors bring unparalleled insight into the challenges facing public lands and how those challenges can be met.

Contributors bring together insights and practices from the fields of conservation biology, sustainable agriculture, and environmental restoration.
