A Sand County Almanac
by Aldo Leopold
Steve Rinella references this book while discussing economic justifications for conservation. He quotes Leopold's line about becoming 'economic hypochondriacs' who are so worried about financial health that we're incapable of being healthy. The book title appears transcribed as 'San Colony Almanac' but clearly refers to Leopold's famous conservation work 'A Sand County Almanac.' This reference comes up in the context of discussing whether public lands need to justify their existence through economic value or whether they have intrinsic value beyond dollars.
