SUMMARY:October Book Club with Carey Russell: An Introduction to 'A Sand County Almanac' by Aldo Leopold (Online)
DESCRIPTION:In his introduction to the 1987 edition of A Sand County Almanac\, Robert Finch writes: \nNo other single book of American nature writing – with the exception of Walden – has achieved such lasting stature as A Sand County Almanac. Since it was first published by Oxford in 1949…it has become an established classic in the field…and providing the core of modern conservation ethics. \nTrue to its name “The Almanac”\, as many call it for short\, is a collection of brief essays and journal entries\, divided into three sections. Our October book club meeting\, led by our friend\, October 27th Sunday Platform speaker\, and DendroLab founder Carey Russell\, will examine selected readings from each section to provide an overview of the book’s content and major themes. \nPlease feel free to read these in advance\, or join us without\, as several will be read aloud during the online event. Please note that page numbers are intentionally not included\, since these can vary by edition. \nTogether we’ll discuss the following selected readings: \n\nForeword\nFrom Part I: December (including “Home Range”\, “Pines Above the Snow”\, and “65290”)\nFrom Part II: Thinking Like a Mountain (found within the section Arizona and New Mexico)\nFrom Part III: The Land Ethic (including “The Ethical Sequence”\, “The Community Concept”\, and “The Ecological Conscience”)\n\nRSVP to Join Online\nClick Here to RSVP to Join via Zoom \nAbout Host Carey Russell\n \nCarey is a naturalist\, photographer\, and filmmaker.
