Both have spent countless hours of field observation and taken thousands of reference photos (some featured in the book) in urban green areas. Based on these references they have created detailed and scientifically correct drawings presented in an artistic manner. These gorgeous colored pencil drawings are unique in that the fauna and flora are shown in relationship to each other. The artists wish to raise public awareness on how nature interacts with an ever-changing environment and this book is intended to further reveal the range of plants and animals living in urban spaces"--Front book flap
