    Darwin Comes to Town draws on eye-popping examples of adaptation to share a stunning vision of urban evolution in which humans and wildlife co-exist in a unique harmony. 
    Carrion crows in the Japanese city of Sendai have learned to use passing traffic to crack nuts.Lizards in Puerto Rico are evolving feet that better grip surfaces like concrete.Europe's urban blackbirds sing at a higher pitch than their rural cousins, to be heard over the din of traffic. 
    How is this happening? 
    Menno Schilthuizen is one of a growing number of "urban ecologists" studying how our manmade environments are accelerating and changing the evolution of the animals and plants around us. In Darwin Comes to Town, he takes us around the world for an up-close look at just how stunningly flexible and swift-moving natural selection can be. 
    With human populations growing, we're having an increasing impact on global ecosystems, and nowhere do these impacts overlap as much as they do in cities. The urban environment is about as extreme as it gets, and the wild animals and plants that live side-by-side with us need to adapt to a whole suite of challenging conditions: they must manage in the city's hotter climate (the "urban heat island"); they need to be able to live either in the semidesert of the tall, rocky, and cavernous structures we call buildings or in the pocket-like oases of city parks (which pose their own dangers, including smog and free-ranging dogs and cats); traffic causes continuous noise, a mist of fine dust particles, and barriers to movement for any animal that cannot fly or burrow; food sources are mainly human-derived. And yet, as Schilthuizen shows, the wildlife sharing these spaces with us is not just surviving, but evolving ways of thriving. 
    This audiobook reveals that evolution can happen far more rapidly than Darwin dreamed, while providing a glimmer of hope that our race toward over population might not take the rest of nature down with us.

    This landmark work—             a foundational volume in the ecological canon—             points to a necessary transformation of consciousness if mankind and the planet are to survive. Drawing upon the wisdom of the world's greatest thinkers, Thomas Berry forges a balanced, deeply felt declaration of planetary independence from the sociological, psychological, and intellectual conditioning that threatens the death of the Earth. Offering a path that will avert ecological catastrophe, Berry builds his case on a comprehensive review of the history of ideas. He provides insights, inspiration, and ethical guidance, which will help us move beyond exploitation and disengagement to begin a restorative relationship with the natural world.
