thank you to netgalley, author -randal mandlebaum, and timber press for this e pub ARC. this was a delight of a read. while i was reading i imagined it as a beautiful and informational coffee table book. it’s full of information and photos on fauna and flora of new york.
when discussing the nature of the city, it had me rethinking how i view the plants and animals around me.

I *love* this book
Its gorgeous, I can only imagine what it'll look like as a beautiful coffee table book!
It's well researched and organized

A wonderfully illustrated, informative, and engaging book that dives into NYCs history and the wildlife in one of the most urban areas in the world. I feel like this book would be perfect for anyone who is interested in urban history/wildlife - but particularly for middle/high school kids as a way to get them engaged in science and nature more.
