Paperback. Condition: Good. One of Smithsonian Magazine's Favorite Books of 2022 With wildlife thriving in cities, we have the opportunity to create vibrant urban ecosystems that serve both people and animals. The Accidental Ecosystem tells the story of how cities across the United States went from having little wildlife to filling, dramatically and unexpectedly, with wild creatures. Today, many of these cities have more large and charismatic wild animals living in them than at any time in at least the past 150 years. Why have so many cities--the most artificial and human-dominated of all Earth's ecosystems--grown rich with wildlife, even as wildlife has declined in most of the rest of the world? And what does this paradox mean for people, wildlife, and nature on our increasingly urban planet? The Accidental Ecosystem is the first book to explain this phenomenon from a deep historical perspective, and its focus includes a broad range of species and cities. Cities covered include New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Austin, Miami, Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Digging into the natural history of cities and unpacking our conception of what it means to be wild, this book provides fascinating context for why animals are thriving more in cities than outside of them. Author Peter S. Alagona argues that the proliferation of animals in cities is largely the unintended result of human decisions that were made for reasons having little to do with the wild creatures themselves. Considering what it means to live in diverse, multispecies communities and exploring how human and non-human members of communities might thrive together, Alagona goes beyond the tension between those who embrace the surge in urban wildlife and those who think of animals as invasive or as public safety hazards. The Accidental Ecosystem calls on readers to reimagine interspecies coexistence in shared habitats, as well as policies that are based on just, humane, and sustainable approaches.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Most Important Factor Of Happy Marriages Isn't What You Think. Keep listening and Discover MoreWhat is the ultimate force that holds a marriage together?Love? Sex? Children? Regular tropical vacations?The answer is both very simple and very complex: Communication. Communication may sound like a very dry word - after all, it's just the transfer of information from one person to another, right?However, communication is the foundation of everything that makes a marriage happy, including love, good sex and good parenting. Good communication creates an environment of safety, love, and respect - this makes a relationship satisfying.In fact, failed communication is the main reason why so many marriages either end in divorce or make the partners unhappy. If the partners lack the necessary communication strategies, simple misunderstandings can escalate into heated arguments that may end in emotional abuse. Failure to communicate about sex leads to (guess what!) bad sex. The inability to communicate about emotions may lead to uncontrollable outbursts of anger and aggression - something that doesn't benefit the marriage at all.Unfortunately, communication skills and strategies aren't routinely taught at schools, so most of us don't approach communication in the family with the necessary mindfulness.This book will fill all the important gaps in your communication skills and greatly improve - or maybe even save - your marriage.Key communication rulesHow to recognize situations that cause communication breakdown - and how to actHow to build mutual respect by taking each other's boundaries seriouslyHow to talk about sex, money, and other difficult topicsHow to set up healthy communication habits from Day OneAnd much more.Even if you've tried marriage therapy and it didn't work, there's always another chance.
