Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac and the land ethic drove consideration of the role of nature and society for most of the twentieth century. Leopold started his career as a forester in Arizona and finished it as America’s first wildlife biologist at the University of Wisconsin. Biographies include Marybeth Lorbiecki’s Aldo Leopold: A Fierce Green Fire and Curt Meine’s Aldo Leopold: His Life and Work. Leopold spent a lot of time at his cabin in southern Wisconsin, and Michael Lannoo describes the role of the cabin in Leopold’s thinking in Leopold’s Shack and Ricketts’s Lab: The Emergence of Environmentalism.
