Title: Aldo Leopold
Description: A fascinating collection of essays,  both schoarly and personal , that are a tribute to Aldo Leopold. Aldo Leopold (1986-1948) was a conservationist and naturalist whose deep love and concerns for the wilderness and the natural resources ultimately led to the conservation of wilderness areas.  The essays in this book were written by scholars and also by Aldo Leopold’s family, as a centennial celebration of  his work, thoughts, and philosophy in the management of natural resources. The personal essays are particularly interesting as they  include recollections and reflections by four of Aldo Leopold’s children, who also went on to careers as naturalists. Aldo Leopold’s significant  influence on later generations shows up also  in a personal essay by Bruce Babbitt, a  former  US Secretary of the Interior.
