A SAND COUNTY ALMANAC and CONSERVATION ESTHETIC by Aldo Leopold

Presented by Alan Penczek, Associate Professor of Philosophy

"There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot." So begins the Foreword to A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold. Published shortly after his death in 1949, Almanac was one of the most influential nature books of the century. With chapters divided into the months of the year, the book is a mixture of essay, polemic, and memoir surrounding his times at his farm in Sand County, Wisconsin. Leopold introduced basic ecological concepts that are now taken for granted. He died fighting a fire on a neighbor's farm. Conservation Esthetic addresses the question of how public and wild lands ought to be managed. In this insightful short piece, Leopold examines the sometimes competing values of such things as recreation, gaming, solitude, scenery, wildlife, and husbandry.

PRODIGAL SUMMER by Barbara Kingsolver

Presented by Ann Arbaugh, Business Office

A beguiling departure for Kingsolver, who generally tackles social themes with trenchantly serious messages, this sentimental but honest novel exhibits a talent for fiction lighter in mood and tone than THE POISONWOOD BIBLE and her previous works. There is also a new emphasis on the natural world, described in sensuous language and precise detail. But Kingsolver continues to take on timely issues, here focusing on the ecological damage caused by herbicides, ethical questions about raising tobacco, and the endangered condition of subsistence farming. A corner of southern Appalachia serves as the setting for the stories of three intertwined lives.....From Publishers Weekly.
