Summary Annotation For the first time, the most important quotations of the great conservationist Aldo Leopold, author of A Sand County Almanac , are gathered in one volume. From conservation education to wildlife ecology, from wilderness protection to soil and water conservation, the writings of Aldo Leopold continue to have profound influence on those seeking to understand the earth and its care. Leopold biographer Curt Meine and noted conservation biologist Richard Knight have assembled this comprehensive collection of quotations from Leopolds extensive and diverse writings, selected and organized to capture the richness and depth of the North American conservation movement.<br />Prominent biologists, conservationists, historians, and philosophers provide introductory commentaries describing Leopolds contributions in varied fields and reflecting upon the significance of his work today.<br /><br />Contributors:<br />J.
