A Sand County Almanac


One of these days I'll write a full review of Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac (Outdoor Essays & Reflections), but for now, with Christmas fast approaching, let me just say that even if the text were not a classic (1949), this combination of text and photos by Michael Sewell from Oxford University Press (2001), with Introductory essay by Kenneth Brower, could be carried by the photographs alone. The design and production values are worthy of the subject. This is a must for those who appreciate what Leopold said and who also want some sense of what Leopold saw.




A great photo book for putting under the Christmas tree!
