It is hard to question natures beauty when a skilled artist expresses it in his book, song, or painting. It is even harder to question it when exposed to the serenity of the countryside. Reading Aldos book without any additional preemptive research of its informational background brings precisely that feeling serenity. With the appropriate inclusion of readers perceptional senses, Aldo manages to underline the natural beauty of the surroundings pictured in A Sand County Almanac.
If considered out of context, the May chapter can be perceived as a documentary about Spring features of the region. Through the lenses of its temporal habitants plovers Aldo describes Wisconsin in the late Spring, occasionally mentioning the federal migratory bird laws at the end (34). However, the mention is not occasional; it informs readers that plovers were actually endangered and consequently saved by federal laws. In the meantime, the June chapter already introduces a human being amidst the natural landscape (Aldo, 35). The comparison of people to trouts and then to the world as a whole invokes a warm feeling of harmony, a feeling the author, in my opinion, might have planned to share in his writing.
The books background information analysis shows a substantial amount of environmental activists and researchers attention to Aldos work. Qi Feng, in his article, proved my hypothesis of Aldos affiliation to the ecological field and his deep understanding of sustainability importance (1). Further researchers conducted a deeper study on Aldos environmental philosophy of human-nature relationships, land ethics, and the wildernesss value (Zhang and Wang, 928-930). Nevertheless, the clarity of inserted thoughts and sincerity with which Aldo wrote A Sand County Almanac well manage to solely show the authors love and care for the environment.
