Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold. His thinking on what land ethics are seems to resonate with what you are doing.

Well I can't read enough German to get a beer in a German restaurant much less navigate Amazon. :-). So I just sent you 20 euros via paypal. You can add it to the collection at your leisure.

That’s a dude-tacular reading list. I invite you to read “To Be Taught, If Fortunate.” It’s a novella so low commitment.

Hrmm. If I try and buy it as a gift from that list, I don’t get any option to ship it to you. I have to manually enter your address. Sent me a mailing address?

I think I might have fixed it. But I might also have opened my address up to the internet public. Can you let me know please?

Worked! It doesn’t show your whole address, just your name, and the town.

That's very silly! I thought the point of amazon wish lists was to solve exactly that problem. I shall take a peek!

Also - thank you :D

It's very good, but the Veritassium video doesn't leave too much out for a good start to it!

Jules Verne: added to wish list!
