Publisher Description
Against the background of austere and beautiful Aberdeen, Woolfson observes the seasons, the streets and the quiet places of her city over the course of a year. She considers the geographic, atmospheric and environmental elements which bring diverse life forms together in close proximity, and in absorbing prose writes of the animals among us: the birds, the rats and squirrels, the spiders and the insects. Her close examination of the natural world leads her to question our prevailing attitudes to urban and non-urban wildlife, and to look again at the values we place on the lives of individual species.

I absolutely loved this book, the way woolfson is able to create interest from even the most mundane of species is a credit to her as both a nature lover and as a writer. 100% recommend for anyone interested in s career involving wildlife etc!!
