The Way of Coyote.
Shared Journeys in the Urban Wilds
Gavin Van Horn reveals the stupendous diversity
of species that can flourish in urban landscapes
like Chicago. That isn't to say city living is without its challenges. Chicago has been altered
dramatically over a relatively short timespan-its
soils covered by concrete, its wetlands drained
and refilled, its river diverted and made to flow in
the opposite direction. The stories in The Way of
Coyote occasionally lament lost abundance, but
they also point toward incredible adaptability and
resilience, such as that displayed by beavers plying the waters of human-constructed canals or peregrine falcons raising their young atop towering skyscrapers.
