Wild nature is right under our noses - in gardens and parks, in the gaps in the pavement and in the ground under our feet. Dave Goulson peers into the compost, digs in the dirt and dives into the garden pond. He passionately explains how our lives and the fate of all humanity are inextricably linked with the lives of honeybees, bees, goldfinches and pansies, the underappreciated heroes of the natural world. An essential book for anyone who has a garden and cares about our planet.
