Los Angeles TimesWithin the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles and its suburbs, residents coexistoften unknowinglywith a bustling mosaic of native and introduced wildlife. Conservationist Craig Stanford, whose research has taken him around the world, now takes a deep dive into the natural history of his Southern California home. Stanfords informed and vivid accounts of more than 150 species entreat us to appreciate the ecological marvels of sagebrush and skunks and skippers, the iconic palms of LA lore, and the mountain lions still roaming the hills.These portraits of the glamorous, humble, irritating, and altogether fascinating species that live alongside Angelenos urge us to recognize that even in a jungle of concrete, we live within nature. Witty and captivating, and combining cutting-edge research with his own critter encounters, Stanford demonstrates the beauty of shaping our cities to support biodiversity, and he warns against the threats that can tip urban ecosystems out of balance, leaving us in a much lonelier world....4479900Unnatural Habitat354492https://www.gandhi.com.mx/unnatural-habitat-9781597146418/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4074211/image.jpg?v=638443223449600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781597146418_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9781597146418_<ul><li>Craig Stanford has an established reputation as a science writer for both an academic and trade audience, he is the Professor of Anthropology and Biological Sciences at USC, and Co-Director, USC Jane Goodall Research Center.</li><li>Stanfords books and writing have been praised by the Washington Post, Times Literary Supplement, the Wall Street Journal, Scientific American, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and Jane Goodall.</li><li>A series of accessible essays that together offer a survey of the plants, birds, mammals, and arthropods of LA, both native and introduced, with a discussion of the conservation implications of their presence, together with reflections by the author on his own relationships with the organisms in question.</li><li>The book is organized in 5 sections: 1) a focus on nature in suburbia; 2) misunderstood or overlooked flora and fauna in LA; 3) endangered or fading species in LA including oaks and various pollinators; 4) the backyard; 5) sharing the habitat in LA or neighborly creatures</li><li>Will include illustrations from Maddalena Bearzi, author of Stranded.</li><li>This book looks at the ecology of LA from the perspective of a conservation advocate and with an eye toward a holistic sense of ecology, and brings in the authors personal voice and experience as a transplant to LA.</li><li>A book published for a core audience in Southern California.</li><li>The LA Times "Wild" newsletter indicates a thirst for connection with the natural environment in Southern California, and this book supports further development of that tendency.</li><li>Heyday has a mission to connect Californians to their natural environment, and that includes nature in their cities.
