Описание: Stouts, millers, and forky-tails (a.k.a. deerfly, moths, and earwigs) are just three of more than 200 fascinating insects, spiders, and other arthropods profiled in this book. Youll also meet weevils, flesh flies, aphids, dragonflies, ticks, bees, giant water bugs, and many mosquitos. These are the creepy-crawlies in your garden and in your basement, the annoyances and the biters, the disease-carriers and the pests. But they are also the pollinators and the insect friends that are crucial to healthy ecosystems. Organized by habitat and order, each description gives key identifying features, life cycle details, as well as the specific habits and quirks that make each one worthy of study. The pages are filled with stunning full-colour photographs of each creature, from gross to gorgeous. Includes up-to-date information about each species distribution in this province, as well as quick hits about the latest local research, folk tales, and insect lore. Insects are the most dominant animal group on the planet. Getting to know some of this species richness is a journey every nature-lover or curious mind will enjoy.

Описание: Newfoundland and Labrador is Canada's newest Province, but was known for centuries as "Britain's Oldest Colony." Europeans established a permanent presence there following John Cabot's voyage in 1497, yet the island of Newfoundland, and the "Big Land" of Labrador, were home to Native peoples for thousands of years before this. In this work David Clarke zeroes in on the rich history of one part of this fascinating place. The former Provincial electoral district known until 2015 as "The Isles of Notre Dame," encompassed historic towns such as Twillingate, Herring Neck, Moreton's Harbour, Change Islands, Fogo and Tilting. This portion of Newfoundland's Notre Dame Bay was settled by immigrants from England's West Country, and the east of Ireland, starting in the early eighteenth century. For generations they and their descendants eked out a living from the resources of the sea. Today they continue to do so in the face of declining fish stocks and the collapse of the traditional cod fishery. In his opening chapters Dr. Clarke presents the reader with an overview history of all the Isles' modern communities, while subsequent chapters focus on specific aspects of regional history. These include, relations between the Beothuk and European settlers, the Twillingate Sun newspaper, local health care, communications, early trade unionism, the World Wars, and a number of local personalities. Together, these comprise a one volume introduction to the history of this region suitable for locals and visitors alike.
