Om denne bog

''A deeply evocative, highly descriptive and thoroughly enjoyable plunge into Britain''s urban wildlife with an authentically hopeful message'' Geographical Magazine

City-dwellers, it''s time to meet your neighbours.

In Wild City Florence Wilkinson takes us on a fascinating journey into why we should engage with our fellow urban species, from the badgers of central Brighton, to tunnel-dwelling Black Country bats to the mosquitoes found on the London Underground and nowhere else on earth.

She shares what we might see - if we only take the time to look - and how nature is adapting to human-engineered environments in unexpected and ingenious ways.

This gorgeously lyrical book invites us to celebrate the natural world, while also offering a clear-eyed glimpse into the challenges faced by urban plants and animals as cities grow and sprawl.

Florence proposes a compelling manifesto for city wildlife, suggesting how we might take action to protect the often-overlooked residents who live alongside us.

''Wild City is as bright and hopeful as a dandelion springing up through the crack between pavings'' Hannah Bourne Taylor

''An enjoyable and timely reminder that we are never alone'' Tristan Gooley
