The last time a New Naturalist series volume was wholly devoted to the subject of nature in an urban area was Richard Fitter’s famous 1945 work London’s Natural History (New Naturalist #3). Now, David Goode once again takes up the subject in his new work published this autumn titled Nature in Towns and Cities (New Naturalist #127). An initial thumb-through leads me to believe it will be a very interesting book and I look forward to discovering if this is indeed so in the very near future.
