This book was written for people like me - who love or even just might like nature a bit but also live in a city. Author Martin Summer wrote this book to explore "what a city dwelling nature lover can do to stay sane in an urbanizing world." With that description, I knew I would find something interesting here.
Without denigrating cities, Summer explores various challenges cities offer to enjoying nature, but, more importantly, offers solutions to those problems. My favorite part of this book, the final section, discusses how to enjoy nature wherever we are, including the densest urban neighborhoods. Best of all, it doesn't take money or excessive time, but perhaps something much more valuable - our attention.
