Sand County Almanac

Vivid is probably the best word to describe this piece. Leopold captures so much visual appeal in his writing style and conveys it very well. I love how I am able to see how he describes the land with such detail in a way I would never look at it myself. He is right when saying that in order for people to change their view of the land, “no important change in ethics was ever accomplished without an internal change in our intellectual emphasis, loyalties, affections, and convictions." The land is exploitable to all people and the farmers are not the only ones who view it as such. Humans have work to do if they want live within the ecosystem instead of above it.
