Now in an archival quality (removable) Brodart cover.Grace Marmor Spruch's memoir of the gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) who climbed her Greenwich Village fire escape and were welcomed into her fifth-floor apartment over the course of more than a decade. Spruch, professor of physics at Rutgers University, Newark, brings a scientist's discipline to the recording but writes in the voice of a fond observer. The book opens with a squirrel's arrival on her windowsill on November 19, 1970, and follows individual animals through naming, characterization, and the rhythms of their visits, with chapters devoted to memorable individuals (Little White Ears, Runty, Notchko, Genius, Sweetie, Halftail, Blackbuster) and to broader themes (squirrels' education, social behaviour, rules and generalizations, urban woes). With line drawings by New Yorker artist Nurit Karlin. Endorsed on the rear panel by Thomas A. Sebeok (Indiana University) and Colin Beer (Rutgers Institute of Animal Behavior).Contents: 1.
