Environmental Conservation 697CR - ST- The Conservation Canon

In this course, we will read and talk about a selection of the seminal books in the conservation canon. For example, Aldo Leopold's "Sand County Almanac" and the Conservation Ethic that it espouses have changed how we view and interact with nature, it is a well written book, and something we all should read. Other potential authors include E.O. Wilson and Rachel Carson, but the class participants will collectively choose subsequent readings.
