Aldo Leopold: A Fierce Green Fire (OUP; 1999) remains the only
biography for the general public on Leopold. It was praised for
being concise and readable, and written in the context of the
history of American conservation. In a second edition, Marybeth
Lorbiecki has added new chapters on Leopold's legacy-the ripple
effects of the ecological knowledge, ethics, and leadership he
instilled in his wife's family in the Southwest, his children,
graduate students, organizations-and on his relevance today. In a
new introduction, Lorbiecki explains why Leopold is still so
relevant, focusing on the new ecological challenges we face and the
myriad of ways his work influences us today, including phenological
studies he started at the Shack and their role in proving climate
change, and responses to these challenges based on a land ethic.
New chapters focus on the Leopold children and their contributions
to the land ethic and ecology in their different scientific fields,
Leopold's key graduate students and their contributions to various
fields, and the recent activities of various organizations that
Leopold helped launch.
