Descripción de contraportada

"Concrete Jungle is a brilliant exploration of New York City's environmental treasures and why it is so important to preserve them. The book's clarity and lucid prose will appeal to academics and general readers alike, to lovers of cities as well as environmentalists." William Helmreich, author of The New York Nobody Knows: Walking 6,000 Miles in the City

"Building sustainable cities is a novel idea to many people, including conservationists, but it is arguably the best option our species has for resolving most of our global environmental problems. Concrete Jungle makes this case in a stimulating and accessible way."
Michael McKinney, University of Tennessee and Editorial Board, Urban Naturalist

Descripción:

Hardback. New. If they are to survive, cities need healthy chunks of the world's ecosystems to persist; yet cities, like parasites, grow and prosper by local destruction of these very ecosystems. This book helps you explore both the positive and the negative sides of the relationship between cities, the environment, and the future of global biodiversity.
