February 2019 Monthly Catalogue
Welcome to the February 2019 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month.
This month I will start with botany, as we have some excellent titles lined up. First off is the fourth edition of Clive Stace's well known New Flora of the British Isles. There are two notable field guides in the works, both due March: Field Guide to the Orchids of Europe and the Mediterranean from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the second edition of Field Guide to Wild Flowers of South Africa from Struik Nature. A number of books will be released in paperback, particularly The Food Explorer: The True Adventures of the Globe-Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats, due February from Dutton Books, American Eden: David Hosack, Botany, and Medicine in the Garden of the Early Republic, due July from Liveright Publishing Corporation, and Darwin's Most Wonderful Plants: Darwin's Botany Today, due July from Profile Books.
For ornithologists and birdwatchers we have two new titles from Bloomsbury to announce, RSPB Spotlight Sparrows and A Shadow Above: The Fall and Rise of the Raven, in paperback, both due in July. In addition we have several more obscure titles, including two books from Norway, Birding the Islands: A Birwatchers’ Guide to Lofoten and Vesterålen and Birding Varanger: The Biotope Guide to the Best Bird Sites in Arctic Norway, and a raptor book from Birdlife Hungary, The Blue Vesper: Ecology and Conservation of the Red-Footed Falcon.
For other animal groups, we have a smattering of titles. WILDGuides will publish Europe's Sea Mammals Including the Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde: A Field Guide to the Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises and Seals in July. Herpetologists can look forward to Amphibian Biology, Volume 11, Part 5: Status of Conservation and Decline of Amphibians: Eastern Hemisphere: Northern Europe, due April from Pelagic Publishing, and RSPB Spotlight Frogs and Toads, due July from Bloomsbury. Those interested in invertebrates have a choice from, amongst others, Caddisfly Adults (Trichoptera) of Britain and Ireland, which has just been published by the Freshwater Biological Association, Dance of the Dung Beetles: Their Role in Our Changing World, due April from Wits University Press, and the second edition of Scorpions of Southern Africa, due March from Struik Nature. More of a nature narrative is Peter Marren's forthcoming book Emperors, Admirals & Chimney Sweepers: The Naming of Butterflies and Moths, due May from Little Toller Books.
Conservation biologists should take note of The Last Butterflies: A Scientist's Quest to Save a Rare and Vanishing Creature from Princeton University Press and Bloomsbury's The Missing Lynx: The Past and Future of Britain's Lost Mammals, both due July. A number of notable conservation titles are being reissued in paperback, including The End of the Wild from MIT Press, Wilding: The Return of Nature to an English Farm, due March from Picador, and Our Place: Can We Save British Nature Before it is Too Late?, due April from Vintage. Then there are three major titles dealing with environmental issues more generally. Renowned marine biologist Daniel Pauly, who coined the term "shifting baselines", is writing Vanishing Fish: Shifting Baselines and the Future of Global Fisheries, due June from Greystone Books. Famous geographer and historian Jared Diamond is writing Upheaval: How Nations Cope with Crisis and Change, due May from Allen Lane. Lastly, there is Achieving the Paris Climate Agreement Goals: Global and Regional 100% Renewable Energy Scenarios with Non-Energy GHG Pathways for +1.5°C and +2°C, due February from Springer.
On the topic of evolution there are a number of excellent new titles in the making, including Good Enough: The Tolerance for Mediocrity in Nature and Society, due June from Harvard University Press, and Life Finds a Way: What Evolution Teaches Us About Creativity, due July from Oneworld Publications (I personally really enjoyed Wagner's previous book Arrival of the Fittest). There are also paperback reissues of A Taste for the Beautiful: The Evolution of Attraction, due July from Princeton University Press, and The Ascent of Birds: How Modern Science is Revealing their Story, due March from Pelagic Publishing. Ecologists will be interested in Incredible Journeys: Exploring the Wonders of Animal Navigation, due April from Hodder & Stoughton, and the third edition of The Ecology of Tropical East Asia, due June from Oxford University Press.
Those who would rather curl up with a good book can look out for Simon Barnes's On the Marsh: A Year Surrounded by Wildness and Wet, due June from Simon & Schuster, or the paperbacks of Attenborough's Life on Earth (40 Anniversary Edition): The Greatest Story Ever Told, due May from Harper Collins, or A Wood of One's Own, due April from Duckworth Overlook. A particularly peculiar title is A Polar Affair: Antarctica's Forgotten Hero and the Secret Love Lives of Penguins, due June from Pegasus Books. Finally, a bit more cerebral is the fourth edition of The Origins of the Modern World: A Global and Environmental Narrative from the Fifteenth to the Twenty-First Century, due July from Rowman & Littlefield.
As always, if you are looking for a particular title that we do not yet have in our range, or you would like to suggest a title for NHBS to stock, please do get in touch.
