brief_description
We are marching towards a future in which three-quarters of humans live in cities, and a large portion of the planet s landmass is urbanized. With much of the rest covered by human-shaped farms, pasture, and plantations, where can nature still go? To the cities -- is Menno Schilthuizen s answer in this remarkable book. And with more and more wildlife carving out new niches among humans, evolution takes a surprising turn.
