Charles Clover, The Sunday Times `[...] a masterly and detailed account of the development of urban conservation from its earliest origins in the nineteenth century writings of Richard Jefferies and W. H. Hudson to the latest ideas on "green roofs".' www.rarebirdalert.co.uk `This is a huge contribution to natural history writing.

Book Description Condition: New. 464, col photos. 216x149mm. HB. NEW. . Not since Richard Fitter s landmark publication in 1945, London s Natural History volume 3 in the New Naturalist series has there been a comprehensive guide to urban natural history. Since then there have been major advances in the conservation of nature in our towns and cities, and there is even more to say about how animals and plants have adapted, in varying degrees, to urbanisation.But this is not merely an exploration of natural history within the urban environment the author uses his knowledge of urban ecology to describe the range of habitats and species which exist within urban areas, and shows how our understanding is being applied to encourage a greater variety of nature into towns and cities. He illustrates how an ecological approach can be incorporated within planning and design to create a range of habitats from tiny oases to extensive new urban woodland and wetlands. [9780007242399].
