The Butterfly Hunter
Author: Anthony Crawforth
Publisher: Legend Press Ltd
ISBN: 0956071619
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
This is the epic, true and long overdue story of the young explorer who put forward the first ever case for the creation of a new species, providing what Charles Darwin called the "beautiful proof" for Natural Selection. The major discovery of Batesian Mimicry was developed from Bates's fascinating 11-year journey and study of butterflies in the Amazon rainforest. He noted how certain animals adopt the look of others to deceive predators and gain an advantage to survive. Little known to the public, Bates made other crucial contributions to biology: he collected over 14,000 specimens, of which over 8,000 were new to science at the time. He went on to become the administrator for the Royal Geographical Society and transformed it into an institution which combined exploration with academic research, and was responsible for placing geography on the school curriculum. This important book reassesses Bates's life and finally places both the man and his work in their rightful place alongside the other greats.

The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting
Author: Evanna Lynch
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0593358406
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
From actress and activist Evanna Lynch comes a raw and compelling memoir about navigating the path between fears and dreams. Evanna Lynch’s casting as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films is a tale that grew to almost mythic proportions—a legend of how she faced disordered eating as a young girl, found solace in a beloved book series, and later landed the part of her favorite character. But that is not the whole story. Even after recovery, there remains a conflict at her core: a bitter struggle between the pursuit of perfection and the desire to fearlessly embrace her creative side. Revealing a startlingly accomplished voice, Lynch delves into the heart of her relationship with her body. As she takes the reader through a personal journey of leaving behind the safety of girlhood, Lynch explores the pivotal choices that ultimately led her down the path of creativity and toward acceptance of the wild, sensual, and unpredictable reality of womanhood. Honest, electrifying, and inspiring, this is a story of the battle between self-destruction and creation, of giving up the preoccupation with perfection in favor of our uncharted dreams—and how the simple choice to create is the most liberating action a person can take.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I asked my mother what makes a rape. She said, It’s when a man forces a woman to have sex with him. I asked why he would want to do that, and she said, Because he wants the woman so much that he decides to just take her. #2 I was curious about rape, so I asked my parents. Their reactions were strange. Their body language told me that rape was something serious. But sex was something every adult wanted and sought, and something natural, something inevitable, and possibly even pleasurable. #3 I was curious about rape, so I asked my parents. Their reactions were strange. Their body language told me that rape was something serious, but sex was something every adult wanted and sought, and something natural, something inevitable, and possibly even pleasurable. #4 I was curious about rape, so I asked my parents.
