Ben Hoare is an award-winning journalist who has written and edited
many natural-history books and magazines for DK, the BBC, London's
Natural History Museum and many others. Think of a well-known
wildlife or nature writer who writes in English, and Ben has
probably edited their words at some point. Since 2008 he has been
Features Editor of BBC Wildlife Magazine. In 2015 Ben was awarded
the Dilys Breese Medal for science communication by the British
Trust for Ornithology (BTO) - he is one of only 15 people to hold
the award.
Lucy Rose graduated from Falmouth University, UK, with a BA in
Illustration. Her work is largely inspired by vintage prints and
art deco posters, using limited and muted colour palettes. Lucy has
always loved the print processes and this is reflected in her work.
She combines handprint-inspired layers with pen-drawn figures and
puts them together using digital techniques. Her work features a
mixture of both narrative and decorative elements to create
striking, graphic compositions, and has appeared in, among others,
The Daily Telegraph, Deloitte, Financial Times, Johns Hopkins
Health Review, and Royal Ascot Magazine.
Did you know that moose are on the loose in Anchorage, Alaska or
that giant orca live along the coast in Vancouver, Canada? We
naturally think about towns as places for people but many animals
are happy to live close to our doorsteps, too. Wild City by Ben
Hoare (editorial consultant for BBC Wildlife) introduces some of
the magnificent wildlife among us every single day. Interesting
facts give explanations of how different urban settings help
animals thrive – you’ll find out why Cape Town’s weather attracts
lots of sea life, and where reptiles like to hang out in Bangkok –
while detailed illustrations will leave you with an impression of
what these global cities feel like overall. The countryside is
welcoming for its own finds, but Wild City shows us that you don’t
have to leave town to discover the cool wildlife around
