Science, technology and engineering are forces that constantly change our realities. Do you look with great hope to how these fields can solve our problems, or do you worry about the new challenges they raise from unintended or unanticipated consequences? This session will present information to help you understand the ways that technology, science, and engineering are variously shaped by social, political, and cultural values that may not always be obvious to either the designers or users of devices, infrastructures, and systems.

Boulder Books is pleased to release its latest field guide: Stouts, Millers and Forky-Tails: Insects of Newfoundland and Labrador – just in time for your summer explorations.

The authors will each present on their favourite insect. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Stouts, millers, and forky-tails (a.k.a. deerfly, moths, and earwigs) are just three of more than 300 fascinating insects, spiders, and other arthropods profiled in this book. You’ll 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.

Stouts, Millers and Forky-Tails: Insects of Newfoundland and Labrador is 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.

About the Authors:

Tom Chapman is a professor of entomology in the Biology Department at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Peggy Dixon and Carolyn Parsons are applied entomologists with Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada. Hugh Whitney is the former chief veterinary officer for Newfoundland and Labrador.
