Fabre's vivid descriptions and engaging anecdotes invite readers into the secret lives of insects, making complex biological concepts accessible and enthralling. Jean-Henri Fabre (1823-1915) was a pioneering French entomologist whose passion for insects was fueled by a lifelong curiosity and a challenging academic background. With little formal education, he sought knowledge through self-directed study, eventually becoming a respected scientist. His commitment to observing insects in their natural environments and documenting their behaviors led him to publish numerous works that blurred the line between scientific inquiry and literary expression. Fabre's deep respect for the natural world and its inhabitants propelled him to communicate these wonders to a broader audience. "Fabre's Book of Insects" is highly recommended for anyone fascinated by nature, as well as for students of literature seeking a unique intersection of science and art. It offers timeless insights into the complex ecosystems that support life on Earth and challenges readers to engage with the wonders of the insect world. This classic work not only enriches our understanding of biology but also inspires a lasting appreciation for the delicate balance of nature.

Archaeopteryx The: The History...

Editors Charles River

The massively popular 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its subsequent movie adaptations led to a huge resurgence in interest in dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. That interest continues to the present day, even though most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren’t actually from the Jurassic period. Triceratops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the huge sauropods such as Brachiosaurus that feature in the book and movies all actually belong to the Late Cretaceous period, more than 40 million years after the end of the Jurassic. Regardless, certain kinds of dinosaurs remain instantly recognizable.
The movie also popularized pterodactyls, and the concept of flying dinosaurs fascinates people. There is no doubt that Archaeopteryx, which lived over 150 million years ago, was one of the earliest birds or avialans (bird-like creatures), and when the first fossil of it was discovered, it was hailed as a potential missing link between dinosaurs and birds. The name Archaeopteryx comes from Greek, the word for “ancient” and the term for “wing” or “feather.” The creature is occasionally referenced by the German, “Urvogel,” which literally means “primeval bird.” From the known species of Archaeopteryx, the creature grew no longer than half a meter (20 inches), including its long, bony tail. Despite its bird-like appearance, scientists point out that the genus has far more in common with the dinosaurs of its day than with the thousands of bird species of our modern age.
Over time, however, others would argue it was actually the missing link between birds and other reptiles. Meanwhile, the debate over whether it was the first avialan came and went, as it was discovered to not be the first.

Consider the Birds -...

Callie Smith Grant

Whether we watch quick little songbirds at our backyard feeders, keep a flock of chickens, teach parrots to talk, or stand looking up at the sky, mesmerized by the aerial acrobatics of blackbirds gathering as the leaves turn in the fall, humans have an almost universal admiration of and interest in birds. We love the birdsong of spring, the fledglings in summer, the deep V of geese in autumn, the bright spot of red cardinals against white snow. 
 
 
 
Wild or domestic, birds are clearly one of God's best gifts. This collection of forty heartwarming true stories of our fine feathered friends from animal-lover Callie Smith Grant celebrates that gift. With stories of brave budgie brothers, serene shore birds, hungry hummingbirds, a curious crow, an owl that came into a boy's life as an answer to prayer, and many more, Consider the Birds is the perfect companion to a cozy blanket, a cup of tea, and a chair by the window—where you can see the birds.
