June 2020 Monthly Catalogue

Welcome to the June 2020 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month. With the ongoing pandemic, we have noticed that many publishers have pushed publication dates of books backwards to later this year. Nevertheless, there was a glut of new titles announced.

On the bird front, we have confirmation that the long-awaited Helm Field Guide Birds of and the South-West Atlantic will be published in November by Christopher Helm. Although very early plans suggested this might be a 2-volume set, now that everything has come together this will be a single book, although it will be available in both hardback and paperback, which is something new for the Helm Field Guide range. Another very interesting title for birdwatchers will be Flight Identification of European Passerines and Select Landbirds, due October from WILDGuides. Other noteworthy field guides are Birds of Southern and Their Tracks & Signs, due September from Jacana Publishers, and the brand-new Around the World for Penguins: Where to See All the 18 Penguin Species, which is privately published by the author and follows the same format as his earlier book Around the World for Albatrosses. Whittles Publishing will shortly release The Ring Ouzel: A View from the North York Moors, while Marianne Taylor is writing The Gull Next Door: A Portrait of a Misunderstood Bird, due November from Wild Nature Press. Finally, Oxford University Press has announced the second edition of their textbook Essential Ornithology, which is slated for August.

There is also a large number of new entomology titles this month. We are very excited by Army Ants: Nature's Ultimate Social Hunters, due October, which is Harvard University Press's second big ant book this year. An important academic title is Biology Systems: Connections and Interactions in Life History and Behaviour, due September from CABI Publishing. More come in the form of The Butterflies of Middle East: Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Jordan and Egypt (Sinai Peninsula) which is the 15th volume in the ongoing Butterflies of Palaearctic Asia Series from Tshikolovets Publications. Edition Chimaira in will publish the second edition of The Dragonflies of Corfu in June, while Academia in the Czech Republic has just released the second edition of the bilingual Ladybird (Coccinellidae) of Central Europe. Lastly, Bloomsbury has announced a further four fold-out guides in their new RSPB ID Spotlight series, covering butterflies, moths, bees, and dragonflies & damselflies.

New mammal books are Yellowstone Wolves: Science and Discovery in the World’s First National Park, due November from the University of Chicago Press, the second edition of Acoustic Ecology of European Bats from Biotope in France, and the paperback of The Dwarf and Mouse Lemurs of : Biology, Behavior and Conservation Biogeography of the Cheirogaleidae, due June from Cambridge University Press. Academic Press has announced two new titles in their of the World: Conservation from Genes to Landscapes series. One on mammals, Tree Kangaroos, and one on reptiles, Galapagos Giant Tortoises, both due November. One further reptile title worth mentioning is the second edition of A Naturalist's Guide to the Reptiles of , due October from John Beaufoy Publishing.

For botanists, there is Peter Wohlleben's The Heartbeat of Trees: Embracing Our Ancient Bond with Forests and Nature, due October from Greystone Books, and a new book that concerns fungus-like plant pathogens: Downy Mildews (Peronosporaceae) and White Blister-Rusts (Albuginaceae) of Wales.

On the subject of wildlife conservation there are two interesting titles: Bringing Back the Beaver: The Story of One Man's Quest to Rewild Britain's Waterways, due September from Chelsea Green, and The Disappearance of Butterflies, due October from Polity Press. Readers of environmental history can look out for The History of the World in 100 , due October from Simon & Schuster, and Cataclysms: An Environmental History of Humanity, due November from the University of Chicago Press.

We end this month with two miscellaneous titles: Pegasus Books has announced the paperback of A Polar Affair: 's Forgotten Hero and the Secret Love Lives of Penguins for November, while Cambridge University Press will publish Understanding Coronavirus in July, which will cut through some of the confusion around the current pandemic.

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. In the meantime, stay safe and keep well.
