Who would have thought Aldo Leopold was such a cool guy?

Very well-written and easy to understand. I read this book as an assignment for my 11th grade Environmental Science class. It opened my eyes. This book has made me consider making environmental studies part of my career. Thank you, Mr. Kline.
The best academic book I've read so far

This guy Kline is a genius. I never thought I'd actually be interested in a book about the US environmental movement but this blew me away. And I'm not just kissing up to this guy because he's my teacher. Oops, didn't mean to say that. Sorry Kline.
