Aldo Leopold (1887 1948) was an American writer, philosopher, naturalist, scientist, ecologist, forester, conservationist, and environmentalist. He is best known for his book A Sand County Almanac (1949) , which has been translated into fourteen languages and has sold more than two million copies. Round River is similar in theme but more personal and may be considered a sort of sequel to 'Sand County', if somewhat less philosophical. Leopold was influential in the development of modern environmental ethics and in the movement for wilderness conservation. His ethics of nature and wildlife preservation had a profound impact on the environmental movement, with his ecocentric or holistic ethics regarding land. He emphasized biodiversity and ecology and was a founder of the science of wildlife management. Leopold was a practicing conservationist; he sustainably extracted valuable things from the land, and gave back to the land in other ways to repay his debt. With the possible exception of wilderness protection, he didn't subscribe to the "hands-off" approach of environmentalism that is often advocated today. He used to say any experience that reminded us of our "dependency on the soil-plant-animal-man food chain" was a valuable one. Through his journal entries, the reader will follow Aldo on hunting and fishing trips. His entries here are more direct and less philosophical than his Almanac entries. They are the sharp and admiring field observations of a man taking part in all that the land has to offer. Think of it as 'Campfire talk' with the most influential conservationist of our time. ; Duotone Drawings; 173 pages; Not Inscribed or Signed by Author.
