About
In Thinking Like a Mountain, we have excerpted a clear and inviting introduction to the science of conservation biology from Ed Grumbine's previous book, Ghost Bears. Grumbine offers a succinct and evocative description of why we should all care about biodiversity, protected lands, connectivity, and extinction rates, and the advantages to be gained by attempting to 'think like a mountain', as so eloquently phrased by Aldo Leopold.
"A story that is rigorous, inspiring, and fun to read.I have seen no better rendering of modern conservation science into readable prose."---Reed Noss "For those who dream of reforging human bonds with the wilds, Grumbine's work offers a timely invocation"
