To those who know the grace of Aldo Leopold's writing in A Sand County Almanac, this posthumous collection from his journals and essays will be a new delight. These daily journal entries on hunting, fishing and exploring, written in camp during his many field trips in lower California, New Mexico, Canada, and Wisconsin, indicate the source of Leopold's ideas on land ethics found in his longer essays. The excerpts from these journals - many taken from notes written around a camp fire, spattered with a slapped mosquito or a drop of coffee - show in direct context what he did in his own leisure time. The essays are taken from more contemplative notes which were still in manuscript when Leopold died, fighting a grass fire in 1948.
Round River has been edited by Leopold's son, Luna, a geologist well-known in the field of conservation. It is also illustrated throughout with line drawings by Charles W. Schwartz. All admirers of Leopold's work - indeed, all lovers of nature - will find this book richly rewarding.

Industry Reviews

"Leopold celebrates the wilderness, stressing the need to preserve this precious legacy."--The Los Angeles Times Book Review "We can be grateful for the opportunity...to spend another pleasant and profitable hour in the company of a man who was perhaps the most provocative student of land and wildlife conservation that our country has produced."--The New Yorker "Aldo Leopold laid the foundation upon which current wildlife conservation policies rest....Leopold's writing is a mine of metaphor containing gems that are often quoted...A highly recommended gift for the outdoosperson or the lover of nature and wildlife."--Steve Brock, Internet Book Reviewer "A rejuvenating visit with the father of all natural resources workers."--Wildlife Review "An observant, poetic volume."--The Los Angeles Times
