Informazioni sul libro
Often, those who live in or close to, cities and larger towns assume that nature is to be found somewhere “out there” in the wild beyond. They assume that their gardens and parks, being artificially maintained, are diminished in variety by the very presence of human development and have little or no “nature” at all. This book disproves that assumption and introduces the rich and diverse natural history of a small part of a major Canadian city. A similar record might equally be written for many other large cities; perhaps the one that you live in. After all, if you don’t look, you will never see. Here are the creatures and plants that have survived, almost out of sight, despite our presence in their habitat.

Originally a biologist, my career was mostly spent in the field of animal pathology but since retirement I have reverted to “real” biology. Getting out in the field and interacting with wildlife in all its many forms and helping others to see and appreciate the natural world. I came to Canada (Quebec) in 1998 from England, loved what I found and stayed. I have a particular interest in urban and peri-urban wildlife and am a Past President of Bird Protection Quebec which is Canada’s oldest bird focussed conservation charity.
