In twenty short books Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement. In
this lyrical meditation on America's wildlands Aldo Leopold considers the different ways
humans shape the natural landscape and describes for the first time the far-reaching
phenomenon now known as 'trophic cascades'. Over the past 75 years a new canon has emerged.
As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans visionary thinkers around the world
have raised their voices to defend the planet and affirm our place at the heart of its
restoration. Their words have endured through the decades becoming the classics of a movement.
Together these books show the richness of environmental thought and point the way to a fairer
saner greener world.
