Urban Antics: Tales of an Urban Naturalist by John Hunter

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

A compendium of articles from the Urban Antics column in the Department of Conservation and Land Management's Landscope magazine.

The stories in this book are true accounts of observations throughout the suburbs of Perth during the last half of the 20th century. They are not just about nature; they are about life and perceptions in a simpler time, when family influences were more valued and the primeval urge of any kid to explore and learn started somewhere in the backyard or the spare lot across the road.

Growing up in Perth's suburbs in the 1940s and 50s, the naturalist and writer has witnessed massive changes to Perth's natural areas.

John's colourful, irreverent, and humorous writing style will appeal to everyone who picks up this book.
