L'autore:

Margaret Mittelbach and Michael Crewdson  have written extensively about the natural world for New York  Newsday and other publications. They live in Brooklyn, New York.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

ew York is two books in one--a beautifully illustrated, deftly written natural history of New York City and an indispensable guidebook for the urban explorer. From beneath the city's skyscrapers and between cracks in the sidewalk, nature writers Margaret Mittelbach and Michael Crewdson have shined their unique spotlight on the concrete jungle--and come up with more wildlife and more natural wonders than anyone ever imagined. Wild New York includes:
Dozens of  Wild Facts describing the city's worst snow storms, the best places to watch the sunset, the rarest animals,  the highest points, the healthiest forests, and the hottest spots for bird-watching
Fascinating biographies of the city's animals, from the unsung pigeon and the dreaded rat to falcons nesting on Park Avenue and sharks  lurking off Coney Island
A  history of the city's 1.1 billion-year-old geologic past, including the unearthing of a mastodon's 10,000-year-old bones in Manha
