Lesbian Choices

Description

This special edition of the highly acclaimed
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
as “full of beauty and vigor and bite,”
combines some of the finest nature writing since Thoreau with an outspoken and highly ethical regard for America’s relationship 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-year period 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
, Edward Abbey’s
, and Robert Finch’s
, this classic work remains as relevant today as it was forty years ago.
