Pretty frames his book around Aldo Leopold and his classic A Sand County Almanac, bringing Leopold's ethic-that some could live without nature but most should not-into the twenty-first century. In The East Country, Pretty follows the seasons through seventy-four tales set in a variety of landscapes from valley to salty shore. Pretty convinces us that we should all develop long attachments to the local, observing that the land can change us for the better.Country lifeEnglandStour Valley (Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Suffolk)Natural historyEnglandStour Valley (Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Suffolk)Stour Valley (Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Suffolk, England)Description and travelCountry lifeNatural history942.6Pretty Jules N.89208MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794901703321The East Country3682249UNINA
