Cover of Grumbine R. Edward Grumbine: Thinking Like a Mountain (ePUB)

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.
