“For days, I was reading passages from ‘Unseen City’ aloud and repeating my new discoveries to whoever would listen. I’ll be collecting these images here (check them out!) to help prove the point: There’s wilderness all around us, just waiting to be seen. Then, take a picture of your discovery, no matter how humble, and share it with the tag #unseencity. Even if it’s something you think you’ve seen 100 times try to look more closely than you ever have before. I am asking people to try a simple exercise: Take one minute to zero in on a bit of your surroundings.
“Unseen City” is a gentle, humane call to pay attention to urban nature in this new age.” - Jon Christensen adjunct assistant professor in the history department and Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at UCLA
“If every age produces its own distinct variety of nature lovers, and history seems to show it’s so, then Nathanael Johnson is perfectly suited for our urban century. “‘Unseen City’ is a modern classic of nature writing, but also a moving story about learning to be a parent.” – Kevin Begos
