Seattle Natural Selection Giveaway: The Street-Smart Naturalist

Seattle Natural Selection is still a fledging site, but luckily the big mama of the family – Fresh-Picked Seattle – has a new advertiser (thanks, Croquet Creative and Hypfoods) and that means a trickle-down effect.

And so…Seattle Natural Selection is having a giveaway!

I'm giving away one copy of the book The Street-Smart Naturalist by David B. Williams. 

Here's the description from Amazon:

Back to the city, or back to nature? In his newest book, Seattle author David Williams shows us how we can get the best of both. Botany and bugs, geology and geese, and creeks and crows; living in a major city doesn't have to separate us from the natural world. Stepping away from a traditional guidebook format, Williams presents the reader with a series of essays and maps that weave personal musings, bits of humor, natural history observations, and scientific data into a multi-textured perspective of life in the city-descriptions of his journeys as a naturalist in an urban landscape. Williams addresses questions that an observant person asks in an urban environment. What did Seattle look like before Europeans got here? How does the area's geologic past affect us? Why have some animals thrived and others languished? How are we affected by the species with whom we share the urban environment and how do we affect them? This book captures all of the distinctive flavors of the Emerald City, urban and natural.
