A Sand County Almanac

And Sketches Here and There

De: Aldo Leopold, Barbara Kingsolver - introduction

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

First published in 1949 and praised in the New York Times Book Review as "full of beauty and vigor and bite", A Sand County Almanac combines some of the finest nature writing since Thoreau with an outspoken and highly ethical regard for America's relationship to the land. As the forerunner to such important books as Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire, and Robert Finch's The Primal Place, this classic work remains as relevant today as it was more than 70 years ago.

Lovely look at nature

The narration was nice. This was a short, pleasant read and I’m glad Barbara Kingsolver is promoting it. This is rightfully compared to Thoreau’s writing.

Superb and Serene Selection

Cassandra Campbell is a stupendous reader and a most excellent choice for this amazing book!

always stunning

I think I have read A SAND COUNTY ALMANAC at least 10 times. now I have listened to it too. read in a beautiful female voice it is even more stunning. Every time I read (or listen) I fall in love with the natural world all over again. This is the most important book I have ever read.

Truth, facts, and clear observations.

This book belongs in all highschool curriculums. so much damage cannot be reversed, wake up america

Brilliant, but…

Aldo Leopoldo’s observations and ideas spoke to my soul. Cassandra Campbell did a good job, but why they chose a woman to read this, I shall never understand.

The best of both worlds.

The best of both worlds.
A timely call to repentance for mountain bikers, monocrop farmers, and tribalistic politicians.

great book

sincerity in readers presentation. definitely felt the prose well read and appreciated. thank you

Good book.

It was an interesting time the Cold War. It's also quite amusing the author thought at the time of writing that big spooky Russia meddled in the 2016 election and not the US private plane class meddling to keep their grip on power.

One of the best books I have ever read

An important portrayal of how important and beautiful nature is. I would suggest that this book be read by every person to help them better understand and appreciate the world around them.

I love this book!

I read this book in college. I am so happy that I was able to listen to it again on audible. it just reminds me why I love being an environmentalist and why every little thing in the world matters even if you don't think about it and you normal life
