I recently pulled off the shelf my old copy of Game Management by Aldo Leopold (1933). I am surprised by how much this book anticipates present day concerns such as biodiversity, sustainability, and ecosystems management.

Lepczyk Sent: Friday, 04 September, 2009 13:17 To: ECOLOG-L@LISTSERV.UMD.EDU Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Seminal books and papers in Conservation and Natural Resources Good Morning, I am developing a new graduate course focused on foundational literature in the fields of conservation and natural resources. While I have a long list of titles already, I am interested in hearing from other professionals and graduate students on what key papers and books you would define in these fields. They need not be strictly academic. For instance, such titles could include Silent Spring, A Sand County Almanac, Life and Death of a Salt Marsh, The Population Bomb, Adaptive Management or Renewable Resources, Tragedy of the Commons, etc. I look forward to your thoughts.
