Wholesale My Wild City

When is the last time you ran your hands through the tumult of wild grass flowers? Or stopped to watch a firefly? In a warming, hostile world, how do we find purpose? Perhaps we can start with noticing the bird outside one's window? In My Wild City, acclaimed nature writer Neha Sinha takes us on an unforgettable journey through the hidden wildernesses of the bustling metropolis of Delhi, where she finds wild creatures, ecological histories and a deep sense of meaning that bind us to the places we call our own. Exploring the city over many days and nights, Sinha traces memories and the stories of extraordinary human lives, discovering centuries-old groves of trees and neglected rivers, mammal tracks and bird calls, words forgotten and then re-found. The result is a deeply personal yet universal book which reveals how we can find our way in the world through the exploration of natural places—and presents a manifesto of hope through the rediscovery of nature. “Brilliant and nuanced explorations of curiosity and belonging. . . [Neha Sinha's] boundless and inspiring enthusiasm for discovery bring into vivid focus the joys and heartbreaks of opening all our senses to the living world.” —David George Haskell, biologist and two-time Pulitzer-finalist author of How Flowers Made our World
