Dust jacket notes: "When student first met teacher, the latter already had set a standard and the very foundation for a new science. He also had written what was then and remains today the classic reference for a fledgling profession. The student knew none of this. In the days, months and decades that followed, the student became aware of the teacher's profound wisdom. He discovered and experienced the man's greatness. And he found in the teacher a mentor and friend. In time, the student became the teacher's protege, then assistant and colleague. For always, the teacher became his template for professional initiative, acumen and personal dignity. This work, written by Bob McCabe, ostensibly to chronicle the last and arguably most productive years of Aldo Leopold - his tenure as chair of the Department of Wildlife Management at the University of Wisconsin - actually is an anthology of reminiscences of The Professor as an educator, scientist, thinker, writer and character exemplar. It is, in all regards, a tribute."
