Stephen Moss goes in search of the hidden corners of Britain where wildlife survives against the odds.
From Shetland’s Iron Age stone structures to London’s most modern skyscrapers, from lowly railway cuttings to ornate stately gardens, he reveals the unlikely oases where wildlife thrives in areas originally created for human purposes. The result is a surprising and uplifting story of how we have influenced the landscape of these crowded islands, and how wildlife has taken advantage of us, even when we least expected it.
