The book is centered around the ‘Innovation Life-Cycle’ and the ‘Venture Scape’. Illuminate is a cool, well-structured, well-designed book about creating change. "Not only is this a wonderful hands-on introduction to a diverse and enigmatic group of insects (moths), it is also an excellent primer on the basic principles of ecology, and crucially, the urgent need for humankind to live more gently on Earth.Illuminate – by Nancy Duarte & Patti Sanchez Jack Davis, author of "The Bald Eagle" and "The Gulf" Through Blackburn’s scientific passion and insight, these relatives of butterflies teach us a lot about evolution, nature, and the ecological consequences of our species, the real pests in the woolen chest of Earth." "Tim Blackburn shows us that moths are more than bugs that invade outdoor lights and bathroom drains. This is a book that will appeal to those who have a fascination for moths and want to understand the world in which they live." "We are creatures of the daylight, spending most of the night asleep, oblivious to life’s continuing struggles that take place in the hours of darkness….

Through his luminous prose and infectious sense of curiosity, Blackburn teaches us to see-and respect-the intricate web of nature in which we’re all caught. The flapping of a moth’s wing may not cause a hurricane, but it is closely tied to the wider world, from the park down the street to climatic shifts across the globe. Through the lives of these overlooked insects, Blackburn introduces a landscape of unseen ecological connections. But no moth is an island-they are vital links in the web of life. With names like the Dingy Footman, Jersey Tiger, Pale Mottled Willow, and Uncertain, and at least 140,000 identified species, moths are fascinating in their own right. In The Jewel Box, Blackburn introduces these mysterious visitors, revealing how the moths he catches reflect hidden patterns governing the world around us. Whether gaudy or drab, rare or common, each moth ensnared by the trap is a treasure with a story to tell. But for ecologist Tim Blackburn, a moth trap is a captivating window into the world beyond the roof terrace of his London flat. A plastic box with a lightbulb attached may seem like an odd birthday present.
