Produktinformationen zu „Field Notes From a Hidden City “
Against the background of austere and beautiful Aberdeen, Woolfson observes the seasons, the streets and the quiet places of her city over the course of a year. She considers the geographic, atmospheric and environmental elements which bring diverse life forms together in close proximity, and in absorbing prose writes of the animals among us: the birds, the rats and squirrels, the spiders and the insects. Her close examination of the natural world leads her to question our prevailing attitudes to urban and non-urban wildlife, and to look again at the values we place on the lives of individual species.
Klappentext zu „Field Notes From a Hidden City “
A thought-provoking record of a year spent observing the natural world in a city, this looks afresh at our relationship to the weather, the plants and the animals that live in close proximity to us. From the author of "Corvus", it examines the wildlife of Aberdeen. 'This is a beautiful book, a meditation and an investigation,' Mike Wade, "The Times"
