Download or read book Silent Sparks written by Sara Lewis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An informative, entertaining, and beautifully illustrated look at the beloved firefly For centuries, the beauty of fireflies has evoked wonder and delight. Yet for most of us, fireflies remain shrouded in mystery: How do fireflies make their light? What are they saying with their flashing? And what do fireflies look for in a mate? In Silent Sparks, noted biologist and firefly expert Sara Lewis dives into the fascinating world of fireflies and reveals the most up-to-date discoveries about these beloved insects. From the meadows of New England and the hills of the Great Smoky Mountains, to the rivers of Japan and mangrove forests of Malaysia, this beautifully illustrated and accessible book uncovers the remarkable, dramatic stories of birth, courtship, romance, sex, deceit, poison, and death among fireflies. The nearly two thousand species of fireflies worldwide have evolved in different ways—and while most mate through the aerial language of blinking lights, not all do. Lewis introduces us to fireflies that don't light up at all, relying on wind-borne perfumes to find mates, and we encounter glow-worm fireflies, whose plump, wingless females never fly. We go behind the scenes to meet inquisitive scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding fireflies, and we learn about various modern threats including light pollution and habitat destruction. In the last section of the book, Lewis provides a field guide for North American fireflies, enabling us to identify them in our own backyards and neighborhoods. This concise, handy guide includes distinguishing features, habits, and range maps for the most commonly encountered fireflies, as well as a gear list. A passionate exploration of one of the world's most charismatic and admired insects, Silent Sparks will inspire us to reconnect with the natural world.

Download or read book Generations written by George Strange and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age criticized for its lack of family cohesion and a growing chasm between old and young, George Strange's Generations: Stories comes to remind us that no amount of Western culture can erase the bonds that unite family and humanity. In unobtrusive prose, Strange moves us through each story to a better understanding of family and the artificial distances we create within them. Each story quietly insists that human themes are no respecter of age and just as each generation must learn, so too must it teach. These stories do not hammer; they transport. Within settings so familiar to many of us, the rural or small town South, Strange refuses to leave us comfortable, carefully twisting our perspective so that we are forced to face the issues in each work. With subtle movements of plot, the audience finds itself looking at both its inevitable future and its youthful past and the issues common to both. Whether it's the younger generation's demand for identity and dignity or the older generation's insistence that it not be marginalized and forgotten, the stories take to task traditional views of generations and their interaction. While a grandfather may teach, as in "Pears" and "If She Should Die, " a father must also learn from his own son, as in "A Gift for George Washington Gonzales.' In "Season of Death" and "Mrs. Dickens Goes to the Drugstore, " older characters struggle against the erosion of time and the irreverence of the young. A community's responsibility and failure to a younger generation is explored in "River Caul" just as a young boy explores the myths of his family's past in "Connecting Generations." What Generations: Stories leaves us with then is the knowledge that thegenerations are neither isolated nor inaccessible amid the sea of human experience. What bridges the differences is a willingness to perceive age as a detail and not an identity and the universal human desire for dignity and acknowledgement. These bridges, the stories tell us, are numerous, available, and fundamental to our continuity as humans.
