City-dwellers, it’s time to meet your neighbours.\n\nIn 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.\n\nShe 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.\n\nThis 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.\n\nFlorence proposes a compelling manifesto for city wildlife, suggesting how we might take action to protect the often-overlooked residents who live alongside us.
