New in Paperback
Above buildings, beneath rivers and canals, amidst bushes and trees … inside the M50 nature abounds.
A lavish, entertaining and uniquely visual nature book. Exciting to read, up to date and comprehensive in its information. Minks in the Dodder, whales on the coastline, bats in Raheny, newts in Dundrum, badgers in Rathfarnham, otters in Ringsend – these are just some of the fantastic creatures to be seen in the capital. Éanna’s intriguing running commentary both entertains and explains, and this is a book for the entire family. Contains exclusive new photographs by Anthony Woods and specially commissioned watercolours by David Daly. A truly stunning book, full of fascinating facts and beautiful photos, showing a city we thought we knew in a new light.
