About This Novel
"Sand Country Almanack" is the representative work of Aldo Leopold, the father of ecological ethics. Among them, "The Return of the Wild Geese" and "Think Like a Mountain" were selected into middle school Chinese textbooks. The classic translation version of "Sand Country Almanac" is based on the first edition of Oxford University Press in 1949. It was carefully translated by the famous environmental historian Professor Hou Wenhui. Susan Fried, chairman of the Leopold Foundation in the United States, wrote a preface and recommended it. It also includes a comparison of the Chinese, English and Latin scientific names of the animals and plants in the book. The book contains Leopold's unpublished preface in 1947, accompanied by 33 original English illustrations, vividly presenting the natural feelings of a naturalist. "Sand Country Almanac" is the crystallization of Aldo Leopold's lifelong observations, experiences, and thoughts. In this book, the author not only expresses his recollection of the harmonious life on the Wisconsin Sand Country Farm, but also records the lessons and pain he experienced in pursuing a scientific ecological view. He also discusses the relationship between man and nature, man and land, trying to reawaken people's love and respect for nature. The whole book contains his views on land health and land ethics. The language is fresh and beautiful, and the content is serious and profound. The author's meticulous observations are reflected between the lines, and he is permeated with his sincere love for birds, beasts, and exotic flowers and plants.
