Summary: The assumptions we make about nature writing too often lead us to see it only as literature about wilderness or rural areas. City Wilds broadens our awareness of American nature writing by featuring the flora, fauna, geography, and climates that enrich and shape urban life. Set in neither pristine nor exotic environs, these thirty-five stories and essays take us to rivers, parks, vacant lots, lakes, gardens, and zoos as they portray nature's rich disregard of city limits.
