Abstract
Aldo Leopold was a very wise and perceptive observer. Some might have called him a conservationist; others might have called him an ecologist or a biogeochemist. Actually he was a brilliant, yet humble student of nature in the purest sense. Much of what this little book has described in quantitative terms Aldo Leopold outlined in general terms 45 yr ago. His insight and prose have been an inspiration to us for a long time.
