Book excerpt: Aldo Leopold in his legendary book, SAND COUNTY ALMANAC, literally, called for REVOLT- "revolt against the tedium of the merely economic attitude towards the land". It has come to the point where the "land" as Aldo called this planet's earth living presence - whether land, water, or air - needs to be understood, appreciated, AND paid attention to. We are at that critical point where this economic attitude will destroy the existence of the ecological community systems that supports all life.This book of short essays is about this necessary REVOLT. It is about the history of what man has done with the land ? with nature and our natural resources since Leopold's writings. Part 1 gives examples of the capabilities and value to spirit and thought of being on the land in each season. Part 2 describes the misdeeds that a mere economic attitude has done and continues to do to the land and the plight of our planet if it continues. Part 3 defines, simply, what it will take to change man's destruction and move to a sustainable planet earth. This book is about a revolution and uprising that must occur to save us from ourselves. It needs to be understood, appreciated, AND paid attention to. We are at that critical point where this economic attitude will destroy the existence of the ecological community systems that supports all life.These essays help you ask yourself questions about what you can do locally and nationally to reduce our impact on our planet earth. They provide the reader with ethical reasoning on what individuals, teachers, students, and families can do to create ecologically- based actions in a local community with global implications. They are guidelines that connect local action to global thinking for sustainability for the future and the generations to come.
