Enjoyed this exploration of how animals are responding to human encroachment , in many cases adapting to urban conditions. Of course, in other cases, they are going extinct rather than adapting . The author’s contention seems to be that it is happening and we ought to facilitate those that can adapt. It is controversial, but interesting and thought provoking

Now I know why spiders are usually in a hurry during a certain time of year.
My only complaint is that it would have been nice to have some color plates added to this book.
