Sinossi

"Venomous Hunters" explores the fascinating world of venomous animals, revealing venom as a sophisticated evolutionary tool rather than just a simple poison. The book examines the ecological and biological significance of venom across diverse species, from snakes and spiders to cone snails, highlighting the evolutionary pressures that shaped its development. A key insight is how venom illustrates the complex relationships between predators, prey, and their environment.

 
The book progresses from introducing the concept of venom and its chemical composition to detailed explorations of specific venomous animal groups like snakes, spiders, and marine invertebrates. It emphasizes the ecological roles of venomous animals and the evolutionary underpinnings of their venom systems.

 
Furthermore, the book analyzes the evolutionary arms race between predators and prey, and the applications of venom research to fields like drug discovery and antivenom production. By integrating evolutionary biology, biochemistry, and ecology, "Venomous Hunters" offers a comprehensive understanding of venom. This approach is intended to present complex scientific concepts in an accessible manner, making it valuable for students and general readers interested in nature, biology, and life sciences.

    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.
