Urban and suburban residents share their environment with many types of wildlife: squirrels, birds, spiders, and increasingly lizards, deer, and coyote. Many of us crave more contact with wild creatures, and recognize the small and large ways animals enrich our lives, yet don't notice the animals already around us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eZooburbia\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the reverence that can be felt in the presence of animals and shows how that reverence connects us to a deeper, better part of ourselves. A lively blend of memoir, natural history, and mindfulness practices, \u003ci\u003eZooburbia\u003c\/i\u003e makes the case for being mindful and compassionate stewards--and students--of the wildlife with whom we coexist. With lessons on industriousness, perseverance, presence, exuberance, gratitude, aging, how to let go, and much more, Tai's vignettes share the happy fact that none of us is alone and separate, and that our teachers are right in front of us. We need only go outdoors with our eyes and ears open to find a rapport with the animal kingdom. \u003ci\u003eZooburbia\u003c\/i\u003e is a magnifying lens turned to our everyday environment, reminding us that we, as individuals and as a species, are not alone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Illustrated by Dave Buchen with original black and white wildlife linocuts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tai Moses\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1937006670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781937006679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Parallax Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/26\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/27\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 137","brand":"Tai Moses","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983858991359,"sku":"9781937006679","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63b30e4b-ddf1-4108-b436-57b278e5a228.jpg?v=1683269133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zooburbia-tai-moses-9781937006679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
