This latest volume in this series contains articles on the
physiology of human and animal disease vectors.The papers in this
special issue give rise to key themes for the future and make
progress towards answering such questions as:
How do insect vectors of disease find their animal hosts?
Once a host is located, how do insects deploy their intricate
mouthparts and the extraordinary complexities of salivary chemistry
to secure a blood meal?

What do fishing with an otter, sitting atop a mountain at dawn with
eighty Taiwanese backpackers, and driving home from Aldo Leopold's
Shack have to say about the evolution of a personal environmental
philosophy? Essays to My Daughter on Our Relationship With the
Natural World provides a series of reflections by an environmental
educator about lessons learned from time spent in nature.
Originally conceived as personal letters to the author's daughter,
this collection presents ethical questions outdoor enthusiasts
regularly face as they work and play in the natural world. The
essays in this book explore environmentalism in a modern-day
context, with topics including sustainability education, the
current relevance of environmental writers from the past, and the
uncertainty of what is meant by words like "naturalist,"
"solitude," and "wilderness." There is no attempt to direct readers
to any particular environmental philosophy. Instead, Simpson
encourages readers to articulate their own perspective based on
personal experiences in nature. Though Essays to My Daughter is
written by a father to his daughter, the insights within the
volume-and the questions they provoke-are valuable to all members
of the next generation as they grapple with their own relationship
to the natural world.
