  The Eye and I

  This book is a story book about the eye. After some 60 years in eye research and clinical work in ophthalmology there have been many instances, where I remember patients and their problems, a book I read or a place that I traveled. This book has 30 chapters and the only thing they have in common, other than all having the same writer is that all have something to do with the eye or eye associated structures such as the eye muscles.None of the chapters are meant to be clinical reports; all are stories and I have tried to keep the text understandable.Some chapters have pen drawings, but for a number I could not think of appropriate illustrations and they consist of just text. All are relatively short, easily read in an evening. Some feature bugs, blister beetles, fleas and lice or other microorganisms that might affect the eye or the tissues around it. Other chapters play away from the U.S., such as Saudi-Arabia, Grenada and Komodo Island.

  'As entertaining as it is enlightening' INDEPENDENT 
  The majority of the world now lives in some form of urban environment. But as the human footprint of brick, concrete and metal expands, our proximity to nature decreases. This is a problem; nature isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. And it’s vital to our wellbeing. 
  From tiny urban forests in Tokyo and the star-rich skies of Flagstaff, to the meandering waters of Munich and prowling lions of Nairobi, this is a globe-spanning look at how to bring nature into the places we live – and how to create the wild cities of the future. 
  'Thought-provoking' GEOGRAPHICAL 
  'An excellent, meticulously researched book' COUNTRY LIFE 
  In this thought-provoking non-fiction science journey, Fitch explores the environmental sciences behind urban ecology, revealing how planning and architecture can rebuild ecosystems and safeguard habitats. With a travel writer’s eye and a conservationist’s urgency, he argues for protection of land and a special kind of ecotourism that helps us use cities as living, breathing refuges for nature. 
  For fans of Travis Elborough (The Writer's Journey), Derek Thompson (Hit Makers), Ezra Klein (Why We're Polarized), Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), and Caitlin Doughty (From Here to Eternity).
