But to see nature come alive in new colors, you don't necessarily have to go to the zoo or turn on the television. You just have to know where to look and what to marvel at. In this book, Dutch evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen has collected the most remarkable examples of how even the most ordinary animals and plants change due to urban life.
