The Leopold collectionThe River of theMother of Godand Other Essays byAldo Leopold

Edited by Susan L. Fladerand J. Baird Callicott

"Aldo Leopold was a rare and wonderful combination ofprophet, professor, dvil servant, and muddy-boot lover ofthe land .... The R~er of the Mother of God and ~herEssays reinforces the view that he was far ahead of his time.... Flader and Callicott have done an excellent job of givingpublic voice to a pioneer environmentalist."--Brad Knickerbocker, Christian Science Monitor

These sixty essays by the author of the environmentalclassic A Sand County Almanac range from "A Tramp inNovember," penned in 1904 when Leopold was a seven-teen-year-old schoolboy, to "The Ecological Conscience,"written in 1947, the year before his death. To traverse theterrain from "The Varmint Question" (1915), in which wolvesand grizzlies are deemed expendable, to "Threatened Spe-

cies" (1936), which calls explicitly for their protection andrestoration, is to observe not onlythe increasing breadth andpenetration of Leopold’s own thought but also the matura-tion of the field of ecology in which he was so seminal afigure, cloth $24.95

GameManagementAldo Leopold

"Game management is as usable today as it was the dayit came off the press .... The basic concepts of ecologyand management presented by Leopold have only beenstrengthened by scientific progress in the interveningyears. Every student of wild animals should own thisclassic treatment."--Robert A. McCabe, University of Wisconsin-Madisonpaper $14.00
