he Wildlife, Wild Places, and Natural Phenomena of New York City
Margaret Mittelbach & Michael Crewdson

Breathing new life into the city, Wild New York takes a completely fresh look at the ultimate metropolis. This beautifully illustrated and deftly written natural history uncovers the surprising range of wildlife and natural phenomena that not only survive but flourish within the unlikely confines of New York City--from the bedrock supporting Manhattan's skyscrapers to the hundreds of different animals that dwell, unsuspected, in the city's waterways and parks. Complete with handy maps and detailed excursions throughout the five boroughs, Wild New York is also an indispensable guidebook for the urban explorer. With directions for 33 walking tours, the book encourages readers to explore the city's hidden and not-so-hidden natural corners and to experience the diversity of wildlife inhabiting the city--including peregrine falcons nesting above Grand Cen
