"Like most cities, Poland's Krakow developed around and because of its favorable geography.
Before Warsaw, Krakow served as Poland's capital for half a millennium. It has functioned
as a cultural center, an industrial center, a center of learning, and home for millions
of people. Behind all of this lies the city's environment: its fauna and plant life,
the Vistula River, the surrounding countryside rich with resources, and man-made change
that has allowed the city to flourish. In Krakow: An Ecobiography, the contributors
use the city as a lens to focus these social and natural intricacies to shed new light
on one of Europe's urban treasures. With chapters on pollution, water systems, the
city's natural network with the surrounding area, urban infrastructure, and more,
Krakow demonstrates how much an environmental perspective can bring to the understanding
of Poland's history and the challenges presented by the heritage of the past"
