Inhaltsangabe
In our era of global change, we need narratives that offer hope. On a Butterfly’s Wing is just that. A beautifully illustrated, autobiographical story, told by one of the world’s leading conservationists, it describes how the parallel lives of a butterfly and a beloved mother can help us to reflect on the unique privilege of being alive.
En route, we discover the extraordinary metamorphoses of a butterfly’s life, and how these hold lessons for the difficult transformations of our own.
On a Butterfly’s Wing invites us to collaborate in conservation. It shows us how to restore our relationship with the butterflies that mitigate and measure our planet’s health, and invests profits in planting flowers – arranged in butterfly shapes – to affect its own transformation by feeding future generations of pollinators.

On a Butterfly's Wing (Hardcover)
Anbieter: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. A unique mix of self-help and natural history inspiration, written by a key figure in recovering three endangered species, tells how a butterflys transformations can inspire our own. In our era of global change, we need stories that offer hope and positive solutions to the challenges we face. On a Butterflys Wing is a true story, told by one of the worlds leading conservationists, who describes how the parallel lives of a butterfly and a beloved mother can help us to reflect on the unique privilege of being alive. Its narrator (La Reme, the butterfly itself) shows us how the stages in the butterfly life cycle offer lessons for the difficult transformations of our own. We are encouraged to shed our skins as caterpillars do; to collaborate with others like cells within a chrysalis; and to spread the multi-colored wings of our imaginations. En route, we discover the remarkable 12,000-kilometer migratory cycle of painted lady butterflies, which can take three generations to travel from Norway to Africa. Their remarkable journey serves to remind us that our own transient lives - made from particles billions of years old - connect us all in the universes own constant metamorphosis. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781739798857
