Sinossi

Science Path explores the historical journey of women in science, highlighting systemic barriers and their significant contributions despite facing gender inequality. It addresses the critical need to understand the underrepresentation of women in scientific history and its consequences. Did you know that women faced restricted access to formal education and subtle biases in peer review and funding processes? Understanding this historical context is vital for fostering a more inclusive scientific future. The book progresses through structured chapters, starting with foundational concepts of gender inequality in science before examining specific eras and disciplines like medicine, physics, and computing. By systematically examining the historical record, Science Path demonstrates how the exclusion of women has hindered scientific progress and argues for the implementation of comprehensive strategies to promote gender equity. It draws upon archival documents, biographical accounts, and statistical data, offering a unique perspective by combining rigorous historical analysis with practical solutions.

The Sloth Lemur’s Song

Alison Richard

‘Full of wonder and forensic intelligence’ Isabella Tree, author of Wilding
A moving account of Madagascar told by a researcher who has spent over fifty years investigating the mysteries of this remarkable island.
Madagascar is a place of change. A biodiversity hotspot and the fourth largest island on the planet, it has been home to a spectacular parade of animals, from giant flightless birds and giant tortoises on the ground, to agile lemurs leaping through the treetops. Some species live on; many have vanished in the distant or recent past. Over vast stretches of time, Madagascar’s forests have expanded and contracted in response to shifting climates, and the hand of people is clear in changes during the last thousand years or so. Today, Madagascar is a microcosm of global trends. What happens there in the decades ahead can, perhaps, suggest ways to help turn the tide on the environmental crisis now sweeping the world.
The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a far-reaching account of Madagascar’s past and present, led by an expert guide who has immersed herself in research and conservation activities with village communities on the island for nearly fifty years. Alison Richard accompanies the reader on a journey through space and time—from Madagascar’s ancient origins as a landlocked region of Gondwana and its emergence as an island to the modern-day developments that make the survival of its array of plants and animals increasingly uncertain. Weaving together scientific evidence with Richard’s own experiences and exploring the power of stories to shape our understanding of events, this book captures the magic as well as the tensions that swirl around this island nation.
Alison Richard's The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a captivating exploration of Madagascar's history and ecology. It delves into the effects of warming on the island's wildlife, making it a compelling read for those interested in nature and the sciences.
For fans of Andy Field (An Adventure in Statistics), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Chris Packham (Earth), Orlando Figes (The Story of Russia), and George Monbiot (Regenesis).

What You Won’t Do For Love: A...

David Suzuki, Tara Cullis,...

What if we could love the planet as much as we love one another?
   
"Warm, wise, and overflowing with generosity, this is a love story so epic it embraces all of creation. Yet another reminder of how blessed we are to be in the struggle with elders like David and Tara.” – Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis
   
What You Won’t Do for Love is an inspiring conversation about love and the environment. When artist Miriam Fernandes approaches the legendary eco-pioneer David Suzuki to create a theatre piece about climate change, she expects to write about David’s perspective as a scientist. Instead, she discovers the boundless vision and efforts of Tara Cullis, a literature scholar, climate organizer, and David’s life partner. Miriam realizes that David and Tara’s decades-long love for each other, and for family and friends, has only clarified and strengthened their resolve to fight for the planet.
   
What You Won’t Do for Love transforms real-life conversations between David, Tara, Miriam, and her husband Sturla into a charmingly novel and poetic work. Over one idyllic day in British Columbia, Miriam and Sturla take in a lifetime of David and Tara’s adventures, inspiration, and love, and in turn reflect on their own relationships to each other and the planet. Revealing David Suzuki and Tara Cullis in an affable, conversational, and often comedic light, What You Won’t Do For Love asks if we can love our planet the same way we love one another.
