By: Evelyn Cheesman

“Everyday Doing's of Insects” is a fantastic guide to all things insects, looking at a variety of subjects from why insects are certain colours, to how they fly, breathe, and much more. This timeless guide is perfect for anyone looking for an introduction to the world of insects, and it would make for a fine addition to collections of allied literature. A wonderful introduction to the topic for enthusiasts of all ages. Contents include: “How Insects Grow”, “Why Insects Grow”, “The Meaning of Colour”, “How Insects Protect Themselves”, “The Meaning of Pattern”, “How Insects get their Colours”, “Senses of Insects”, “How Insects Breathe”, “Wings and Flight”, “Stings and Poisons”, “Instinct”, “Caravans and Sleeping-Bags”, “Insects which show Lights”, “Musical Instruments”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

Being Digital Citizens

By: Engin Isin,Evelyn Ruppert

From the rise of cyberbullying and hactivism to the issues surrounding digital privacy rights and freedom of speech, the Internet is changing the ways in which we govern and are governed as citizens. This book examines how citizens encounter and perform new sorts of rights, duties, opportunities and challenges through the Internet. By disrupting prevailing understandings of citizenship and cyberspace, the authors highlight the dynamic relationship between these two concepts. Rather than assuming that these are static or established “facts” of politics and society, the book shows how the challenges and opportunities presented by the Internet inevitably impact upon the action and understanding of political agency. In doing so, it investigates how we conduct ourselves in cyberspace through digital acts. This book provides a new theoretical understanding of what it means to be a citizen today for students and scholars across the social sciences. This new and updated edition includes two new chapters. A Preface consists of reflections on developments in digital politics since the book was published in 2015. It considers how recent major political struggles over digital technologies and data can be understood in relation to the conceptualization of digital citizens that the book offers. While the Preface positions dominant responses to these struggles such as government regulations as ‘closings’, a new final chapter, Digital citizens-yet-to-come offers examples of ‘openings’ – digital acts such as new forms of data activism that are less recognised but which point to the emergence of paradoxical digital acts that are producing new digital political subjectivities.

Training Missionaries

Principles and Possibilities

By: Evelyn Hibbert,Richard Hibbert

Missionaries must know God, be able to relate well to other people, understand and engage with another culture, and be able to use the Bible in a way that informs all aspects of their lives and ministries. Missionary training must address each of these areas if it is to help Christians to be effective in taking the gospel to the ends of the earth. Effective training has been shown to prevent people from prematurely leaving the field. It also reduces the danger of cross-cultural workers uncritically exporting culturally bound forms of Christianity. This book details four key areas that every missionary training program, whatever its context, must focus on developing. It shows how these can be holistically addressed in a learning community where trainers and trainees engage in cross-cultural ministry together.

Biographical Index of Artists in Canada

By: Evelyn de Rostaing McMann

This index has been compiled as a quick reference guide to biographies of 9,052 professional and amateur artists active in Canada from the seventeenth century to the present. The artists represent 42 professional categories, from animation to topography. In addition to 8,261 Canadian artists, the Index has 391 British, 300 American, and 100 European artists, all of whom spent part of their careers in Canada. Each entry provides the artist's name, date and place of birth and death (or years the artist flourished, if birth and death dates are not available), the nationality (if not Canadian), type of artist (major medium media used), and sources in which biographical information may be found. Several hundred cross-references link the various names used by some artists during the course of their careers.
