Wilderness in the garden

Wildlife is right under our noses - in gardens and parks, in the gaps in the pavement and in the ground beneath our feet. Dave Goulson peers into the compost pile, digs in the dirt and dives into the garden pond. He passionately explains how our lives and the fate of all humanity are inextricably linked to the lives of starlings, bees, goldfinches and thistles, the underappreciated heroes of the natural world. An essential book for anyone who has a garden and cares about our planet. "An excellent guide to gardening. " - Guardian
