Naturalists in Sneakers

A practical guide to discover the closest nature

A field guide for urbanites

The protagonists of this book by José Luis Gallego, one of Spain’s best-known environmental divulgators, are not the large birds of prey that fly over our mountain ranges, nor large carnivores such as the bear, the lynx or the wolf.

This book unveils the secrets of the most common and yet less known species: the sparrows in backyards, the frogs in ponds, the walking plants, the lizards on walls, the hedgehog in the garden or the spider in the attic. If you are curious about nature, this book is full of surprises about the animals and plants around us.
