Angels & Insectsby A. S. ByattISBN 0679751343 (0-679-75134-3)
Softcover, Vintage Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Angels & Insects'Book summary:In these breathtaking novellas, A.S. Byatt returns to the territory she explored in Possession: the landscape of Victorian England, where science and spiritualism are both popular manias, and domestic decorum coexists with brutality and perversion. Angels and Insects is "delicate and confidently ironic.... Byatt perfectly blends laughter and sympathy [with] extraordinary sensuality" (San Francisco Examiner).

The Antsby Edward O. Wilson, Bert HolldoblerISBN 0674040759 (0-674-04075-9)
Hardcover, Harvard Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Ants'Book summary:This is the definitive scientific study of one of the most diverse animal groups on earth; pretty well everything that is known about ants is in this massive work. But books do not win Pulitzer Prizes, as this one did in 1991, for exhaustiveness; besides being the last word in science, this work is beautifully written, and accessible to the lay reader. Wilson, of Harvard, and Holldobler of the University of Wurzburg, may inspire a whole new generation of budding entomologists. Every branch of biology is covered, from evolution to taxonomy to physiology to ecology. Lavishly illustrated, it is full of amazing facts, many concerning the incredible social behavior of these creatures. [via]

Austerlitzby Winfried Georg SebaldISBN 3446199861 (3-446-19986-1)
Hardcover, Carl Hanser

› Find signed collectible books: 'Austerlitz'Book summary:Willkommen im Universum des W.G. Sebald. Der Besuch lohnt sich. Man tritt ein in den schmuckvollen Bahnhof von Antwerpen, einem Monument des belgischen Kolonialismus, wo der unbenannte Erzähler gerade mit einem Gefühl des Unwohlseins aus England ankommt. Nachdem er den großäugigen Tieren im benachbarten Nocturama einen kurzen Besuch abgestattet hat, spricht er im prunkvollen Wartesaal jenen Jacques Austerlitz an, der dort gerade zeichnet und fotografiert -- und ab nun der Held des Romans sein wird. Erst viele Jahre später und nach vielen Reisen quer durch Europa wird der -- inzwischen weiser und nachdenklicher -- gewordene Leser vor der Festung Breedonk bei Antwerpen entlassen.
Austerlitz ist ein sehr europäisches Buch, mit Aufenthalten in Wales, London, Prag, Theresienstadt, Marienbad und Paris. Ortsbeschreibungen verraten viel über die Austerlitzsche Seele. Als er in den 50er-Jahren einmal in Nürnberg aus dem Zug aussteigt und deutschen Boden betritt, beobachtet er Schuhwerk und Schweigsamkeit der vorübergehenden Menschen in den Fußgängerparadiesen. Die Architektur wird zum Seelenzustand, zu etwas, das psychologische Rückschlüsse zulässt -- für welche Art Mensch zum Beispiel haben die Architekten das Sicherheitssystem der Pariser Bibliothèque Nationale entwickelt?
Sebalds Sprache erinnert in ihrer Klarheit und Bestimmtheit gelegentlich an Thomas Bernhard, wenngleich die schlimmsten Ereignisse ohne Übertreibung beschrieben werden. Wo kommen die Waren her, die im Theresienstädter Laden auf den Tischen ausliegen? In diesem Buch ohne Kapitel oder Absätze sind Fotos ein wichtiger Bestandteil.
Statt des Exils beschreibt Sebalds Roman auf bewegende Weise die Suche nach der eigenen Vergangenheit. Wie kann Austerlitz die Heimat verlassen, wenn er sich an sie nicht erinnern kann, nicht mal weiß, wo sie gewesen ist? Der ausführliche Mittelteil des Buches beschreibt die Reise nach Prag, Theresienstadt und das dazugehörige dunkle Kapitel mitteleuropäischer Geschichte. Den Stillstand der Zeit zwischen Kindertransport (von Prag nach England, 1939, als Fünfjähriger) und der Abreise aus Prag mit wiedergefundener Identität in den 50er-Jahren.
Austerlitz versucht, "das Bild der von dem Wanderer durchquerten beinahe schon in der Vergessenheit geratenen Landschaft" heraufzubeschwören. Dabei empfindet er ein Gefühl des Widerwillens und des Ekels. Die Exkurse zu den verschiedensten Themen sind wertvolle Anregungen und wichtiger Teil dieser seelischen Landschaft. Was bleibt, ist die Frage: Werden im Nocturama nach Feierabend die Lichter eingeschaltet, damit die Tiere schlafen können? --Richard Foster [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Broadsides from the Other Orders: A Book of Bugs'Book summary:God, the English biologist J.B.S. Haldane once observed, has an inordinate fondness for beetles--and, for that matter, for all the other little bugs and insects that abound on the earth. Sue Hubbell, a beekeeper-turned-essayist, shares that fondness, and after reading her notes on camel crickets, gypsy moths, and water striders, among other creatures, you will as well. Hubbell's appreciation extends even to bugs that we find noxious ("Silverfish," she writes, "are gregarious, sociable animals, liking their own company so much that they often eat one another"), although she admits to harboring a few favorites among the innumerable insect orders, notably bees, of course, and daddy longlegs spiders, whose "otherness" she rightly prizes. --Gregory McNamee [via]

Cat's Eyeby Margaret AtwoodISBN 1853811262 (1-85381-126-2)
Softcover, Trafalgar Square
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Cat's Eye'Book summary:Cat's Eye is one of Margaret Atwood's most intriguing novels, a ruminative, symbol-laced, and deceptively loose book that encompasses many of the concerns of her earlier works, compounding them with a new awareness of aging and the curious vagaries of memory. Its premise is simple enough: Elaine Risley, a successful painter living on the West Coast, returns to Toronto, the scene of her childhood and artistic development, for a retrospective of her work at an independent feminist gallery. As Risley arrives in Toronto, she begins to examine her past in that city, from her early girlhood through to the final days of her first marriage. Risley's memories dominate the book; her exhibition is a light but important counterpoint to all that has gone before it.
In a sense, Cat's Eye is a feminist deconstruction of the artist's coming-of-age novel, but Risley's feminism is skeptical and detached. Her painful girlhood friendships haunt her through her middle age, and she has far more sympathy for men than she does for the women who have supported her career. As a result, Cat's Eye transcends orthodox feminism and rigorously examines troubling questions of gender, sexuality, and art from a wryly nonpartisan perspective. Fans of Atwood's more recent novels will love Cat's Eye, but it is a book that deserves the attention of her numerous detractors; perhaps it will encourage them to give her a second look. --Jack Illingworth [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Caterpillars Of Eastern North America: A Guide To Identification And Natural History'Book summary:This lavishly illustrated guide will enable you to identify the caterpillars of nearly 700 butterflies and moths found east of the Mississippi. The more than 1,200 color photographs and two dozen line drawings include numerous exceptionally striking images. The giant silk moths, tiger moths, and many other species covered include forest pests, common garden guests, economically important species, and of course, the Mescal Worm and Mexican Jumping Bean caterpillars. Full-page species accounts cover almost 400 species, with up to six images per species including an image of the adult plus succinct text with information on distribution, seasonal activity, foodplants, and life history. These accounts are generously complemented with additional images of earlier instars, closely related species, noteworthy behaviors, and other intriguing aspects of caterpillar biology.
Many caterpillars are illustrated here for the first time. Dozens of new foodplant records are presented and erroneous records are corrected. The book provides considerable information on the distribution, biology, and taxonomy of caterpillars beyond that available in other popular works on Eastern butterflies and moths. The introductory chapter covers caterpillar structure, life cycles, rearing, natural enemies, photography, and conservation. The section titled "Caterpillar Projects" will be of special interest to educators.
Given the dearth of accessible guides on the identification and natural history of caterpillars, Caterpillars of Eastern North America is a must for entomologists and museum curators, forest managers, conservation biologists and others who seek a compact, easy-to-use guide to the caterpillars of this vast region.

Hardcover, Cambridge Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Evolution of the Insects'Book summary:This book chronicles the complete evolutionary history of insects--their living diversity and relationships as well as 400 million years of fossils. Introductory sections cover the living species diversity of insects, methods of reconstructing evolutionary relationships, basic insect structure, and the diverse modes of insect fossilization and major fossil deposits. Major sections then explore the relationships and evolution of each order of hexapods. The volume also chronicles major episodes in the evolutionary history of insects from their modest beginnings in the devonian and the origin of wings hundreds of millions of years before pterosaurs and birds to the impact of mass extinctions and the explosive radiation of angiosperms on insects, and how they evolved into the most complex societies in nature. Whereas other volumes focus on either living species or fossils, this is the first comprehensive synthesis of all aspects of insect evolution. Illustrated with 955 photo- and electron- micrographs, drawings, diagrams, and field photos, many in full color and virtually all of them original, this reference will appeal to anyone engaged with insect diversity--professional entomologists and students, insect and fossil collectors, and naturalists. David grimaldi and michael s. Engel have collectively published over 200 scientific articles and monographs on the relationships and fossil record of insects, including 10 articles in the journals science, nature, and proceedings of the national academy of sciences. David grimaldi is curator in the division of invertebrate zoology, american museum of natural history and adjunct professor at cornell university, columbia university, and the city university of new york. David grimaldi has traveled in 40 countries on 6 continents, collecting and studying recent species of insects and conducting fossil excavations.

› Find signed collectible books: 'For Love Of Insects'Book summary:Imagine beetles ejecting defensive sprays as hot as boiling water; female moths holding their mates for ransom; caterpillars disguising themselves as flowers by fastening petals to their bodies; termites emitting a viscous glue to rally fellow soldiers--and you will have entered an insect world once beyond imagining, a world observed and described down to its tiniest astonishing detail by Thomas Eisner. The story of a lifetime of such minute explorations, For Love of Insects celebrates the small creatures that have emerged triumphant on the planet, the beneficiaries of extraordinary evolutionary inventiveness and unparalleled reproductive capacity.
To understand the success of insects is to appreciate our own shortcomings, Eisner tells us, but never has a reckoning been such a pleasure. Recounting exploits and discoveries in his lab at Cornell and in the field in Uruguay, Australia, Panama, Europe, and North America, Eisner time and again demonstrates how inquiry into the survival strategies of an insect leads to clarifications beyond the expected; insects are revealed as masters of achievement, forms of life worthy of study and respect from even the most recalcitrant entomophobe. Filled with descriptions of his ingenious experiments and illustrated with photographs unmatched for their combination of scientific content and delicate beauty, Eisner's book makes readers participants in the grand adventure of discovery on a scale infinitesimally small, and infinitely surprising.

› Find signed collectible books: 'An Inordinate Fondness for Beetles'Book summary:There is a story, possibly apocryphal, that an English cleric asked the noted evolutionist J.B.S. Haldane what could be inferred about the Creator from the works of nature. Haldane is reported to have replied, "An inordinate fondness for beetles."
! In fact, approximately one-fifth of all known species are beetles--350,000 and growing (and yours truly even discovered a beetle species in 1986)--yet most people know very little about this remarkable group of organisms. This is one of the best coffee-table books I have ever seen about the creepy critters, and the full-color photos of iridescent, brightly colored, or architecturally elaborate beetle gems is sure to instill an inordinate fondness for beetles among children, artists, and anyone with a love of nature.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Mosquito: The Story of Man's Deadliest Foe'Book summary:Now in paperback -- a fascinating work of popular science from a world-renowned expert on mosquitoes and a prize-winning reporter.
In this lively and comprehensive portrait of the mosquito, its role in history, and its threat to mankind, Spielman and D'Antonio take a mosquito's-eye view of nature and man. They show us how mosquitoes breed, live, mate, and die, and introduce us to their enemies, both natural and man-made. The authors present tragic and often grotesque examples of how the mosquito has insinuated itself into human history, from the malaria that devastated invaders of ancient Rome to the current widespread West Nile fever panic. Filled with little-known facts and remarkable anecdotes that bring this tiny being into larger focus, Mosquito offers fascinating, alarming, and convincing evidence that the sooner we get to know this pesky insect, the better off we'll be.
