    "The Flowering of Ecology presents an English translation of Maria Sybilla Merian's 1679 'caterpillar' book, Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandelung und sonderbare Blumen-Nahrung. Her processes in making the book and an analysis of its scientific content are presented in a historical context. Merian raised insects for five decades, recording the food plants, behavior and ecology of roughly 300 species. Her most influential invention was an "ecological" composition, where the metamorphic cycles of insects (usually moths and butterflies) were arrayed around plants that served as food for the caterpillars. Kay Etheridge analyses the 1679 caterpillar book from the viewpoint of a biologist, arguing that that Merian's study of insect interactions with plants, the first of its kind, was a formative contribution to natural history

    The first comprehensive, interdisciplinary accounting of Nabokov’s scientific work, its significance in his artistry, and his contribution to evolutionary theory This landmark book is the first full appraisal of Vladimir Nabokov’s long-neglected contributions as a scientist. Although his literary achievements are renowned, until recently his scientific discoveries were ignored or dismissed by many. Nabokov created well over 1,000 technical illustrations of the anatomical structures of butterflies, seeking to understand the evolutionary diversity of small butterflies called Blues. But only lately have scientists confirmed his meticulous research and vindicated his surprising hypotheses. This volume reproduces 154 of Nabokov’s drawings, few of which have ever been seen in public, and presents essays by ten leading scientists and Nabokov specialists. The contributors underscore the significance of Nabokov’s drawings as scientific documents, evaluate his visionary contributions to evolutionary biology and systematics, and offer insights into his unique artistic perception and creativity

    A rich and rollicking first novel from one of America's most beloved and widely acclaimed nature writers, Robert Michael Pyle In Magdalena Mountain, Robert Michael Pyle's first and long-awaited novel, the award-winning naturalist proves he is as at home in an imagined landscape as he is in the natural one. At the center of this story of majesty and high mountain magic are three Magdalenas--Mary, a woman whose uncertain journey opens the book; Magdalena Mountain, shrouded in mystery and menace; and the all-black Magdalena alpine butterfly, the most elusive of several rare and beautiful species found on the mountain. And high in the Colorado Rocky Mountain wilderness, sharing the remote territory of the Erebia magdalena butterfly, lives the enigmatic Oberon, a reluctant de facto leader of the Grove, a diverse community of monks who share a devotion to nature. Converging in the same wilderness are October Carson, a beachcomber-wanderer in pursuit of the alpine butterflies he collects for museums; James Mead, a young graduate student intent upon learning the ecology of this seductive creature; and Mary Glanville, who also seeks the butterfly but can't remember why. While the mystery surrounding Mary takes a menacing turn, their shared quest pulls them deeper into the high mountain wilderness, culminating in a harrowing encounter on the stony slopes of Magdalena Mountain

    Klappentext: "The Flowering of Ecology presents an English translation of Maria Sybilla Merian's 1679 'caterpillar' book, Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandelung und sonderbare Blumen-Nahrung. Her processes in making the book and an analysis of its scientific content are presented in a historical context. Merian raised insects for five decades, recording the food plants, behavior and ecology of roughly 300 species. Her most influential invention was an "ecological" composition, where the metamorphic cycles of insects (usually moths and butterflies) were arrayed around plants that served as food for the caterpillars. Kay Etheridge analyses the 1679 caterpillar book from the viewpoint of a biologist, arguing that that Merian's study of insect interactions with plants, the first of its kind, was a formative contribution to natural history"--

    Die ungewöhnliche Frau widmete ihr Leben und Schaffen von Kindheit an den Raupen und ihrer geheimnisvollen Verwandlung. In einer Künstlerfamilie aufgewachsen, konnte sie als Mädchen das Künstlerhandwerk erlernen. 1679 und 1683 brachte sie ihre ersten beiden Raupenbücher heraus. Da sie lebende Raupen studierte, erkannte sie deren Lebensgewohnheiten. Auf ihren Bildern platzierte sie die Insekten in den unterschiedlichen Entwicklungsformen vom Ei bis zum Schmetterling jeweils rund um die zugehörige Futterpflanze. Mit diesem Stil, den sie von ihrer ersten bis zur letzten Publikation beibehielt, prägte sie die wissenschaftliche Darstellungsweise nachhaltig. Nach der Trennung von ihrem Mann und einem jahrelangen Rückzug in eine religiöse Gemeinschaft zog Maria Sibylla Merian 1691 in die Handelsmetropole Amsterdam. In Begleitung ihrer jüngsten Tochter reiste sie 1699 in die Sklavenkolonie Surinam, um dort Schmetterlinge in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung zu studieren. Obschon sie die Expedition nach zwei Jahren krankheitshalber abbrechen musste, konnte sie ihre Forschungen in einem aufsehenerregenden Band über die Insekten Surinams 1705 veröffentlichen. Eng an Bild und Text orientiert, gibt der vorliegende Katalog Einblick in das Leben und Schaffen dieser aussergewöhnlichen Wissenschaftlerin und Künstlerin der Frühen Neuzeit.
