First published in 1990 and now available only from University of
New Mexico Press, this volume collects twenty-six of Aldo Leopold's
little-known essays and articles published between 1915 and 1948.
Leopold worked for the United States Forest Service in New Mexico
and Arizona from 1909 to 1924. While employed as a forester in the
Southwest, he developed his ecological ideas in articles written
for newspapers, newsletters, magazines, and journals. Hitherto
unavailable to the general public, these pieces show that Leopold
was not born an ecologist. On a daily basis, the young forester
grappled with concrete ecological problems and groped for practical
solutions. He made mistakes and learned hard lessons from them. The
sum of his experience is the ecological wisdom of his classic A
Sand County Almanac, first published in 1949. The volume editors
have arranged this collection to show Leopold evolving from a naive
forester to a mature professional and finally to a passionate
environmental advocate. They follow each article with useful
commentaries on its significance to the development of Leopold's
philosophy.
