Summary

Butterfly vs Moth offers a fascinating exploration of the intricate distinctions between two remarkable insect groups within the order Lepidoptera. Moving beyond common misconceptions, this comprehensive guide reveals how these closely related insects have evolved distinct characteristics while sharing a common ancestry. The book masterfully combines cutting-edge research with accessible explanations, making complex scientific concepts understandable to both enthusiasts and professionals.

 
The journey begins with detailed examinations of physical differences, such as wing structures and antennae formation, supported by microscopic imagery and anatomical diagrams. The narrative then progresses into fascinating behavioral patterns, challenging popular assumptions about nocturnal and diurnal activities while exploring remarkable phenomena like moth navigation by moonlight and butterfly migration.

 
What makes this book particularly valuable is its integration of evolutionary biology, showing how environmental pressures shaped these insects into their current forms. Through systematic organization and clear language, the book serves multiple audiences, from university students to citizen scientists. It stands out by incorporating practical applications, including identification guides and conservation strategies, while addressing current scientific debates in the field.

 
The comprehensive scope covers species from various global regions, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the remarkable world of Lepidoptera, from basic distinctions to complex biological processes.

    A hilarious romp through the past, present, and future of Green politics in Canada.

"It's great... Some of the details, my god, they make working in that party sound like living in a house of mirrors... Ouch." - Arshy Mann, The Hatchet 
Mark Leiren-Young, a lifelong environmentalist and Leacock Medal-winning humour writer, journeys to the heart of greenness to reveal the toxic sludge of Canadian eco-politics. 
For a brief moment in 2019, it looked like Elizabeth May’s Green wave could change Canadian politics and finally wield real power in Ottawa. During that brief moment, Leiren-Young was a campaign manager in a riding the federal Greens were sure to win. He quit on discovering that there was only one thing stopping the Green Party of Canada from changing the country’s electoral landscape forever: the Green Party of Canada. 
The Greens were not ready for prime time. Or late night. Or four a.m., after last call, when voters stop being picky and are desperate for anyone with a nice smile. Once the spotlight hit, the Greens wilted, never to recover. 
A comedic take on the sorry state of Canada’s environmental politics, Greener Than Thou explores how the Green party has repeatedly shot itself in the foot, blasted out its kneecaps, and done everything in its power to ensure it will never have a say in decisions that shape the future of our planet.

    From the bestselling author of Holy Hot Mess, a laugh-out-loud look at what happens when life goes a direction we didn't expect and we are forced to reconsider the beliefs, assumptions, and stories that have always steered our course.  Mary Katherine Backstrom grew up the most basic of all youth group kids—pH level 14—and her faith only grew as she led youth ministry, served as a missionary, and went on to become a bestselling Christian author. She knew all the practiced, perfect Sunday school answers and was driving happily down the straight and narrow, until one day her young son asked a simple question: will my Jewish best friend go to hell? In the months and years that followed, that single question continued to snowball. MK challenged and reconsidered every part of the faith she’d been raised to accept so completely. Not That Wheel, Jesus! is Mary Katherine’s hilarious journey from certainty to doubt to going nuclear on the socials (“it was my heresy era”), and then of slowly and painfully finding her way back to a different, less defined faith. It’s the heartfelt and achingly honest story of a spirituality that went off the road and crashed and burned in spectacular fashion, right before God and everybody. And then, slowly, through grace and plenty of therapy, grew richer and deeper than she ever could have imagined.
