In \u003ci\u003eRats\u003c\/i\u003e, the critically acclaimed bestseller, Robert Sullivan spends a year investigating a rat-infested alley just a few blocks away from Wall Street. Sullivan gets to know not just the beast but its friends and foes: the exterminators, the sanitation workers, the agitators and activists who have played their part in the centuries-old war between human city dweller and wild city rat.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sullivan looks deep into the largely unrecorded history of the city and its masses-its herds-of-rats-like mob. Funny, wise, sometimes disgusting but always compulsively readable, \u003ci\u003eRats\u003c\/i\u003e earns its unlikely place alongside the great classics of nature writing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With an all-new Afterword by the author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53669642830097,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781582344775.jpg?v=1781509758","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-rats-by-robert-sullivan","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
