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. 606 $aCountry life$zEngland$zStour Valley (Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Suffolk) 606 $aNatural history$zEngland$zStour Valley (Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Suffolk) 607 $aStour Valley (Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Suffolk, England)$xDescription and travel 615 0$aCountry life 615 0$aNatural history 676 $a942.6 700 $aPretty$b Jules N.$089208 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794901703321 996 $aThe East Country$93682249 997 $aUNINA
