"Leopold
helped redefine our understanding of the natural world and provided
much of the foundation for the modern environmental movement.
His legacy can be seen everywhere."—Janet Ginsburg, Chicago
Tribune
"The Essential
Aldo Leopold is a tribute to his amazing breadth, [drawing]
on the voluminous range of Leopold's writings . . . from forest
and range
management to agriculture, to environmental policy, to the key
role of
education in persuading Americans to embrace a land ethic and
practice
conservation."—Mike Dombeck, former
chief, U.S. Forest Service, Wisconsin Magazine of History
"We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green
fire dying in her eyes. . . . I was young then, and full of trigger
itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that
no wolves would mean hunters' paradise. But after seeing the
green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf
nor the mountain agreed with such a view.'—Aldo Leopold
