The Essential Aldo Leopold

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
