"It is part of her book's persuasive charm that, for a little while at least, is able to direct our gaze to the chickadees outside the window and to make us forget, for a moment, the world beyond the garden wall."― Jonathan Rosen, Wall Street Journal "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. With beautiful illustrations and practical sidebars on everything from animal tracking to opossum removal, THE URBAN BESTIARY is a lyrical book that awakens wonder, delight, and respect for the urban wild, and our place within it. Haupt's observations bring compelling new questions to light: Whose "home" is this? Where does the wild end and the city begin? And what difference does it make to us as humans living our everyday lives? In this wholly original blend of science, story, myth, and memoir, Haupt draws us into the secret world of the wild creatures that dwell among us in our urban neighborhoods, whether we are aware of them or not. In THE URBAN BESTIARY, acclaimed nature writer Lyanda Lynn Haupt journeys into the heart of the everyday wild, where coyotes, raccoons, chickens, hawks, and humans live in closer proximity than ever before. From the bestselling author of Crow Planet, a compelling journey into the secret lives of the wild animals at our back door.
