Aldo LeopoldHis Life and WorkCurt Meine
Aldo Leopold is unique in thedegree to which his life andwork continue to exert influ-ence on those who are con-cerned with the quality of ournatural environment. Thisbook is written for those whowish to understand this un-usual and gifted man better,as well as for those who wishto gain greater insight into the
evolution of the American landscape. The first com-prehensive biography, it will stand as definitive foryears to come.
"This is a story well worth reading and, happily, it’sgood fun to boot. The author has skillfully capturedLeopold the man, the scientist, the philosopher--furthermore, anyone who begins to read it will soonbe captured, too."
--Gaylord Nelson ~The Wilderness Society
"... the core of American thinking about conserva-tion runs from Thoreau to Muir to Leopold ....Leopold is the most significant conservationist of thelast seventy years; and this is the first full-scalebiography, the fzrst to make such extensive use of theLeopold papers. Thus it makes available reams ofmaterial that can be found nowhere else. There is noother book like this one."
--Stephen FoxAuthor of The American ConservationMovement: John Muir and His Legacy

Companion toA Sand CountyAlmanacEdited by J. Baird Callicott
Praised by the New YorkTimes for its "high quality"and by Sierra for being "firstrate,’" this collection of arti-cles, written by the leadingscholars of Leopold and envi-ronmental ethics, representsthe first sustained look atLeopold’s seminal book as awork of art~ philosophy, andsocial commentary. It will en-
rich the general reader’s appreciation of a favoriteliterary friend while it provides new information andthoughtful analysis for environmental scholars, man-agers, and planners.
"J. Baird Callicott does for this contemporary vademecum what Philip Van Doren Stem’s The AnnotatedWalden did for Thoreau’s great work. Roderick Nashpursues Leopold’s intellectual heritage. Susan Fladerdetails the history of Leopold’s woodland hideaway.Wallace Stegner analyzes the legacy of what he callsan ’almost holy book.’ The authority of these andother contributors both confirms its subject’s cen-trality to 20th-century thought and marks the studyitself as vital to a wider understanding of its birth."
