New York City may have a reputation as a concrete jungle, but it’s full of wildlife if you know where to look. This family-friendly guide is part natural history, part field guide, and part trip planner.
Mandelbaum explains how fire, floods, and climate shape local nature, and profiles more than 100 species, from squirrels and praying mantids to purple finches and the occasional humpback whale. The book also includes day trips to help you explore trails, parks, and even your own street.
