DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A caterpillar’s transformation to a butterfly is one of nature’s most magnificent occurrences. Jonathan Pride believes there is a caterpillar in all of us, and that we are born with untapped potential and an inner-voice of reason that argues against the outward voice of experience. Although many of us understand this reality, some choose to remain idle, even after weighing the risks and rewards. So is it really possible to persevere through doubts and challenges and push toward self-improvement? In an inspirational guide, Pride relies on his professional and personal experiences dealing with adversity to share a unique approach to managing change and expectations for personal growth. While encouraging others to embrace the storms they encounter through life with grace and faith in God’s plan, Pride offers candid personal stories and a variety of discovery questions that guide others on an enlightening journey inward to unlock their true potential and, in their own time, to emerge from the chrysalis as a butterfly and then ultimately pay it forward so others can do the same. Caterpillars Don’t Fly shares faith-filled stories that guide others down an inspirational path to realize self-enlightenment, a sense of purpose, and personal growth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The fascinating and complex evolutionary relationship of the monarch butterfly and the milkweed plant Monarch butterflies are one of nature's most recognizable creatures, known for their bright colors and epic annual migration from the United States and Canada to Mexico. Yet there is much more to the monarch than its distinctive presence and mythic journeying. In Monarchs and Milkweed, Anurag Agrawal presents a vivid investigation into how the monarch butterfly has evolved closely alongside the milkweed—a toxic plant named for the sticky white substance emitted when its leaves are damaged—and how this inextricable and intimate relationship has been like an arms race over the millennia, a battle of exploitation and defense between two fascinating species. The monarch life cycle begins each spring when it deposits eggs on milkweed leaves. But this dependency of monarchs on milkweeds as food is not reciprocated, and milkweeds do all they can to poison or thwart the young monarchs. Agrawal delves into major scientific discoveries, including his own pioneering research, and traces how plant poisons have not only shaped monarch-milkweed interactions but have also been culturally important for centuries. Agrawal presents current ideas regarding the recent decline in monarch populations, including habitat destruction, increased winter storms, and lack of milkweed—the last one a theory that the author rejects. He evaluates the current sustainability of monarchs and reveals a novel explanation for their plummeting numbers. Lavishly illustrated with more than eighty color photos and images, Monarchs and Milkweed takes readers on an unforgettable exploration of one of nature's most important and sophisticated evolutionary relationships.
