Nuestro personaje de portada, Julia Butterfly Hill, podría parecer extremo. ¿Una mujer que se subió a un árbol durante dos años para finalmente evitar que lo talaran? ¿Por qué ella y no otros de los cientos de ecologistas que en todo el mundo se comprometen en acciones menos mediáticas pero quizá más profundas? Creemos que el perfil que ha escrito Tracy Barnett cuenta una historia que a todos puede inspirar: la de una persona normal que se indigna ante el mal, decide hacer lo que puede y convierte su acción en algo extraordinario. En el contexto de los Juegos Panamericanos de 2011 en Guadalajara, Vanesa Robles escribió un espléndido reportaje sobre las personas que cotidianamente hacen deporte en condiciones precarias, al margen de las grandes inversiones en infraestructura deportiva que se hicieron en la ciudad. Y Juan Carlos Núñez presenta en Colloquium una entrevista con Emilio Martínez Navarro, experto en ética profesional, uno de los temas prioritarios de una revista para profesionales. (Magis) (ITESO)

Butterfly Believers

Autor: Paul E. Linzey

Número de Páginas: 148

There is never a day when a butterfly in any stage is the same as it was the day before. This is also true of people. The author uses metamorphosis as an analogy, breaking down the steps to personal growth, making it easier to understand, and the process interesting and fun. Inspired by a study of Rom 12:1-2, Butterfly Believers consists of forty devotional readings, each one based on one aspect of the butterfly life cycle. In the same way a butterfly changes every single day, Butterfly Believers are also transforming continuously, moving towards spiritual depth and maturity. In each short chapter, the author presents a specific fact about the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, or imago, adding one or two appropriate Scripture verses. The result is an inspiring devotional about moving step by step towards maturity and blossoming into the beautiful Imago Dei. Suitable for personal devotions, group discussion, or as a resource for preaching.

Florida's Aquatic Butterfly Gardens

Autor: Sean Patton , Kendall Southworth

Número de Páginas: 193

Sean Patton and Kendall Southworth, specialists in creating aquatic ecosystems for pollinators and other wildlife, share their knowledge and skills in this guidebook for creating aquatic butterfly gardens in Florida. Of the nearly two hundred butterfly species that call Florida home, more than seventy are closely associated with aquatic ecosystems, and their survival and reproduction depends on the trees, shrubs, wildflowers, grasses, and vines that color and compose these habitats. Florida has lost more than nine million acres of wetlands (more than any other state), but the countless water bodies that remain—everything from backyard ponds to tidal marshes—provide opportunities to create healthy, resilient hotspots for pollinators and humans alike. Patton and Southworth cover these underrepresented and undervalued aquatic ecosystems and show how they can be used to create the critically important habitats necessary for the butterflies of Florida.

Butterfly Wings

Autor: Mohamed Salmawy

Número de Páginas: 123

A chance encounter on a plane throws together Doha, a fashion designer unhappily married to a leading figure in the Mubarak regime, and Ashraf, an academic and leading dissident. The story of their relationship and Doha's self-discovery runs alongside a young Egyptian's search for the mother he never knew, and these intersecting narratives unfold against the background of political protests that culminate in the overthrow of the regime. A moving and at times humorous story, Butterfly Wings is an extended allegory of Egypt's modern experience of authoritarian rule and explores the fractures and challenges of a society at the moment of revolutionary transformation. Mohamed Salmawy's almost prophetic novel was first published in Arabic immediately prior to the events of 25 January 2011, and has been celebrated as 'the novel that predicted the Revolution.'

Butterfly Conservation in North America

Autor: Jaret C Daniels

Número de Páginas: 195

The book addresses this critical need by providing a straightforward and easy to read primer to key elements of at-risk butterfly conservation programs including captive husbandry, organism reintroduction, habitat restoration, population monitoring, recovery planning and cooperative programs. Impacts from habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species, and climate change continue to accelerate the rate of imperilment and necessitate increased conservation action. Zoos, natural history museums, botanical gardens and wildlife agencies are progressively focusing on insects, particularly charismatic groups such as butterflies and native pollinators, to help advance local conservation efforts and foster increased community interest and engagement. Today, many institutions and their partners have successfully initiated at-risk butterfly conservation programs, and numerous others are exploring ways to become involved. However, insufficient experience and familiarity with insects is a critical constraint preventing staff and institutions from adequately planning, implementing and evaluating organism-targeted activities. The information provided is intended to improve staff practices,...
