The Living Town

"Nature Watch" is a series that looks at individual habitats. Each title explores the intricate and vital webs of relationships that exist among the wealth of animal, bird, insect and plant life there. Emphasis is placed on the importance of conservation in maintaining these relationships. This book looks at the wildlife, both fauna and flora, that exists alongside man in built-up urban areas.
