Manitoba Butterfliesby Simone Allard

With over 1000 photographs and illustrations, 101 of Manitoba’s most common butterfly species are presented in glorious full-colour. Each species is photographed in it’s natural environment and for the first time ever, each stage of the butterfly life cycle is presented in a photographic progression that culminates in a lifesize image of the mature adult butterfly.

Finding Birds in Southern Manitoba

Complemented by maps and colour photographs, Finding Birds In Southern Manitoba is the only up-to-date birding guide for southern Manitoba. This book draws on the collective knowledge of dozens of birders, as well as data used to publish The Birds of Manitoba, to describe approximately 75 sites and routes and the birds that one can expect to find there. It also contains a list of Manitoba bird specialties and where to find them, bar charts of month-by-month abundance for all species, and the basic logistical information needed for a safe and enjoyable birding experience in Manitoba.

Wild West by Heather Beattie and Barbara Huck

Few things are of more concern to Canadians and Americans – or indeed people anywhere in the world – than the state of our Earth’s environment and the species who co-habit it with us. From polar bears and geat blue whales to lake sturgeon and chinook salmon; from the Pacific albatross and California condors to swift foxes and the rare ocelot; from the inland temperate rainforest to the tall grass prairie, Wild West looks at each.
