Description
In 2006, Julianne Lutz Warren (née Newton) asked readers to rediscover one of history’s most renowned conservationists. Aldo Leopold’s Odyssey used to be hailed by The New York Times as a “biography of ideas,” making “us feel the loss of what might have followed A Sand County Almanac by showing us in authoritative detail what led up to it.” Warren’s astute narrative quickly became an essential a part of the Leopold canon, introducing new readers to the father of flora and fauna ecology and offering a fresh viewpoint to even the most seasoned scholars.
A decade later, as our very concept of wilderness is changing, Warren frames Leopold’s work in the context of the Anthropocene. With a new preface and foreword by Bill McKibben, the book underscores the ever-growing importance of Leopold’s ideas in an more and more human-dominated landscape.
Drawing on unpublished archives, Warren traces Leopold’s quest to define and preserve land health. Leopold’s journey took him from Iowa to Yale to the Southwest to Wisconsin, with fascinating stops along easy methods to probe the causes of early land settlement failures, give a contribution to the emerging science of ecology, and craft a new vision for land use.
Leopold’s life used to be dedicated to one fundamental catch 22 situation: how can people live prosperously at the land and keep it healthy, too? For someone compelled by this question, the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Aldo Leopold’s Odyssey offers insight and inspiration.
