Summary:
"Discover who's living in your own backyard. More than half of all humans now live in cities, with a mixture of plants, animals, and fungi that have never been together before. Yet not only do few of us see and appreciate these creatures, we often try to eradicate them. What if understanding urban species could help preserve our connection to nature? Secret Life of the City introduces us to corvids, songbirds, ants, pigeons, bats, sparrows, lichens, and linden trees--and the experts who study their surprising abilities to survive, and thrive, in urban spaces. Blending science and story, this fascinating book invites us to pay attention to the sights, sounds, and smells all around us"--
