Dion, Rockman, and Ross show us what is in front of most of us, the dwellers of the urban landscape, in a way we all might like to think about looking at the world. This is a great, thought-provoking book which is a must for every rural and urban school, city, and town library around the globe. If hundreds of curious people pick it up to buy and read, and give it some consideration, all the better. I loved it. - Loren Coleman

A great book, with a general overview of the urban dwellers and the habitat they transform by interactions beetween species, space, history and the human perpective of the life in the cities.

Its real achivement is the explorations in to urban ecosystems, with an accesible language for everyone.

Mark Dion is one of those creative people, be they artists, scientists, scholars, cryptozoologists, inventors, novelists, or whomever/whatever, who hit up against the rigid parameters of where they find their work landing - then goes beyond. This book, in photographs and text, defines for those only now beginning to be aware of Dion's efforts, a sense of the who and what of this man. To get a wonderful peek inside the mind of a genius, obtain this book. - Loren Coleman
