Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-24 00:00:00 Lyndon Floyd A sure must for all serious fans or scholars of Aldo Leopold, however it's not at all the ideal choice if you're just looking for a book on the ideas or the life of the great ecologist after having been fascinated by "A Sand County Almanac", as the inherent disconnected nature of a quotations book and the interesting but short essays introducing each chapter make a bit difficult for non experts to make up a complete, consistent view of Leopold's philosophy. Sure a great scholarly work, but not everybody's cup of tea

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-05 00:00:00 Dra Catarina Cardoso A bit dry, took me a while to get through this book. Leopold was a great thinker and ahead of his time on his philosophy of ecology. He lived his beliefs. I think he was a writer as much as a scientist. I must try to get to the shack this summer. I have been to the Foundation in Baraboo but it was too cold to walk the grounds out to the shack.
