rachitsingh's review against another edition
4.0
The book delivers well on what is promised; to give a new outlook towards our Urban lifestyle. Many interesting supporting examples of real research being done by evolutionary biologists are presented here. There is a nice flow to the book which makes all the chapters well-linked and interesting to flip through. Apart from the perspicuous scientific writing, the author also blends in witty sentences making the text enjoyable and easy to digest even for non-science folks.
Questions related to urban ecology have been quite interesting to me, since long, so it could be a reason why I enjoyed this particularly more. But even for other readers who wish to learn about this interesting field, this is a good book for starters.

Rich in thoughts and natural history tidbits I'd never encountered, which a pop sci book has to work hard to do with me!

I really enjoyed this unique perspective on evolution of plants and animals in the urban environment. Excellent reader and lots of memorable examples of the overall theory. I also learned more about the science of evolution.
