Ryan Mandelbaum: Wild NYC, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A vibrant, family friendly guide to the unexpected nature found in and around the Big Apple.

New York City may have a reputation as a concrete jungle, but in reality, it's full of amazing wildlife. You just need to know where to find it! Equal parts natural history, field guide, and trip planner, Wild NYC has something for everyone. It looks at the factors that shape local nature---including fire, floods, and climate---and profiles over 100 local species, from easy-to-spot squirrels and praying mantids to more elusive humpback whales, purple finches, and so much more. Also included are descriptions of day trips that help you explore natural wonders on hiking trails, in public parks, and on your own street.
