A Sand County Almanac

by Aldo Leopold

The speaker discusses reading this book in a literature class at university and how Leopold's elegant prose about the outdoors really resonated with him. He describes it as timeless writing that is as relevant today as when it was written seventy years ago, and mentions rereading it periodically. The book is discussed in the context of Leopold's stewardship ethic and its relevance to private land management in Texas.
