Best Books 2005 Awards

Your adventure guide to finding, observing, and identifying the plants and animals of our North American cities.



Celebrate urban ecology as Take A City Nature Walk takes you on a nature adventure in your local city or town. You'll be surprised by the creatures you can discover in the city when you know where to look. Learn how animals have adapted to city life, the resources available to animals in our cities and how animals survive among the people, buildings, traffic and other city hazards. Take your book with you outdoors so you can take field notes in the Field Notes Pages, identify plants and animals from their photos in the book, and make lists of the plants and animals you discover.
