  Invisible No More - Voices from...

  For too long, Native American people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, invisible citizens in their own land obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. 
   
   
   
  Invisible No More is a collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. Authors in the collection come from over a dozen Native nations. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism. At the same time, the authors detail ways that listeners might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all. 
   
   
   
  In a world facing a mounting climate crisis and record economic inequality, Invisible No More exposes the deep wounds of a racist past while offering a powerful call to care for one another and the planet. Indigenous communities have much to offer, not the least of which are solutions gleaned from cultural knowledge developed over generations.

  Lepidopterology - Butterflies...

  Lepidopterology is the branch of entomology dedicated to the study of butterflies and moths, which together make up the order Lepidoptera. This field examines their anatomy, behavior, life cycles, ecological roles, and evolutionary history. Scientists and enthusiasts alike have contributed to a growing body of knowledge that enhances our understanding of these fascinating insects and their importance in ecosystems. 
  The study of Lepidoptera dates back centuries, with early naturalists documenting species variations and their transformations. One of the earliest references comes from Aristotle, who noted the metamorphosis of caterpillars into winged adults. In the 17th and 18th centuries, scientific classification systems began to take shape, with Carolus Linnaeus organizing butterflies and moths within his broader taxonomy of life. As entomology advanced, researchers uncovered more details about their lifespans, migration patterns, and interactions with other species. 
  Beyond taxonomy, lepidopterology explores the critical role butterflies and moths play in the environment. Many species serve as pollinators, aiding in the reproduction of flowering plants. Their presence in an ecosystem can also indicate environmental health, as they are highly sensitive to habitat changes and climate fluctuations. Conservationists rely on butterfly and moth populations to assess biodiversity and detect ecological imbalances caused by deforestation, pollution, or climate change.
