This is my all time favorite book. Leopold environmental philosophy was mature for his time. He had a passion for the Midwest landscape without having a political agenda. Leopold foretold the downhill slide of Midwest faming and it effect both environmentally and economically. His stern warning is found in the midst of a beautiful description of the rolling prairies of the Midwest.
