Frankly, I don't think this book's for me. It seems to be a kind of neo-paganism for dummies.
I was alarmed when the author admitted early on that she hadn't lived in an urban area for many years. I was shocked when she advised "if you can get a short winter sunshine break, make this a priority". Isn't that kind of at odds with living in tune with the seasons?
That was when I flicked through the rest of the book and gave up.
From the title, I was hoping to find advice from someone else who had found that urban living erected a barrier between themselves and the natural world. A relationship that is central to all forms of paganism and one which I have found increasingly difficult since moving to built-up areas. Quite simply, this book isn't that and I'll have to keep looking for it.
A shame that the title is so misleading.

This is a great reference book for anybody interested in celebrations of nature. It's laid out very easily, covers a massive range of subjects and explains things very clearly.

I agree with previous review regarding inappropriate titular use of 'In the city' not really much reference to urban life. Further, what reference there was to troublesome issues in modern day life was mostly common sense...I.e make effort to be around nature in whatever green space is avaialable to you.
However, urban living aside, the sections on moon, rises of passage, calendars were informative. Good for general reference overall -
