Sinossi

In a world where darkness often seems to prevail, fireflies serve as a beacon of hope, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, light can be found. Their ability to transform darkness into light is a metaphor for our own potential to overcome adversity and find joy in the midst of challenges.

This book takes readers on a journey into the fascinating world of fireflies, exploring their unique biology, their ecological significance, and their cultural symbolism. Through captivating storytelling and engaging scientific research, readers will discover the secrets of these tiny creatures and the important role they play in our lives.

Readers will learn about the firefly's life cycle, from egg to larva to adult, and the remarkable process by which they produce their bioluminescent light. They will also discover the diverse habitats where fireflies can be found, from temperate forests to tropical rainforests, and the vital role they play in pollinating plants and supporting other wildlife.

Beyond their scientific significance, fireflies also hold a deep cultural meaning in many parts of the world. In some cultures, they are seen as symbols of good luck, prosperity, and love. In others, they are believed to be the souls of the departed or messengers from the spirit world.

This book celebrates the beauty and wonder of fireflies, while also highlighting the importance of protecting these delicate creatures and their habitats. It is a call to action for readers to appreciate the natural world and to take steps to preserve it for future generations.

With its captivating narrative and stunning visuals, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the natural world, the beauty of bioluminescence, or the resilience of life in the face of adversity. It is a book that will inspire readers to look at the world with new eyes, to find the light in the darkness, and to appreciate the interconnectedness of all living things.

    Chemistry is the branch of science that focuses on the study of matter and its interactions with other matter and energy. It is often called the central science because it bridges other natural sciences, such as physics, biology, and environmental science, helping to explain the properties and behavior of substances that make up the world around us. 
      
    At its core, chemistry explores atoms and molecules, which are the building blocks of matter. These particles interact in various ways to form different types of substances, including solids, liquids, and gases. By studying these interactions, chemists can predict the behavior of materials, develop new substances, and create innovative solutions to complex problems. 
      
    The field of chemistry is divided into several branches, each focusing on different aspects of matter. Organic chemistry, for example, deals with the structure and reactions of carbon-containing compounds, which form the basis of life. Inorganic chemistry, on the other hand, focuses on non-carbon compounds and materials like metals, salts, and minerals. Physical chemistry explores the energy changes and dynamics of chemical reactions, while analytical chemistry involves techniques to determine the composition of substances. Biochemistry blends chemistry with biology to study the molecular mechanisms that underpin living organisms.

    Edward Abbey, who never much liked Alaska, called it "our biggest, buggiest, boggiest state." To others, it has been a cure for despair. When Michael Engelhard moved to Fairbanks more than three decades ago, he was a cheechako, a subarctic tenderfoot. Gathering skills and experiences the hard way, he attained "Sourdough" status while realizing there would always be more to learn, see, and do in the land of midnight sun and auroras. 
     
     
     
    En route, Engelhard suffered frostbite, stubborn yaks, grizzly charges, trophy hunters, cold-water immersion, heartbreak, incontinent raptors, one pesky squirrel, and honeymooners from abroad. He tried to rescue a raven and explored Arctic dunes and a glacier's blue heart, and his own as he mingled with caribou on their epic journeys.

    Climate change. Two words that are quickly becoming the clarion call to action in the twenty-first century. It is a voter issue, an economy driver, and a defining dynamic for the foreseeable future. Yet, in Black communities, climate change is seen as less urgent when compared to other pressing issues, including police brutality, gun violence, job security, food insecurity, and the blatant racism faced daily around the country. 
     
     
     
    However, with Black Americans disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change—making up 13 percent of the US population but breathing 40 percent dirtier air and being twice as likely to be hospitalized or die from climate-related health problems than white counterparts—climate change is a central issue of racial justice and affects every aspect of life for Black communities. 
     
     
     
    In Before the Streetlights Come On, climate activist Heather McTeer Toney insists that those most affected by climate change are best suited to lead the movement for climate justice. McTeer Toney brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and leadership in environmental justice to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around systems of racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis.
