January 2018 Monthly Catalogue
Welcome to the January 2018 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month. The end of 2017 turned out very well with some excellent titles being announced before the year was out.
Birdwatchers can look out for four new field and identification guides: Cornell University Press will publish Birds of Nicaragua in May; Bloomsbury is publishing Antpittas, a new Helm Identification Guide to this sought-after group of South American birds in July, and Birds of Japan in June; and Princeton University Press will publish Birds of Chile: A Photo Guide, also in June. Bloomsbury's A Shadow Above: The Fall and Rise of the Raven, due February, sounds very intriguing as well.
On the mammal front, Johns Hopkins University Press has announced a new addition to the Walker's series, Mammals of the World: Monotremes, Marsupials, Afrotherians, Xenarthrans, and Sundatherians, due June. The International Polar Institute Press just announced Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend for February, which is one of only a handful of books on this seldom-seen whale species, while Oxford University Press will publish Orca: How We Came to Know and Love the Ocean's Greatest Predator in July. Cambridge University Press will publish Wild Chimpanzees: Social Behaviour of an Endangered Species in May, and Academic Press has just published Cheetahs: Biology and Conservation.
There are two titles in this month's list that are worth highlighting for botanists: The Collins Press will publish Lichens of Ireland and Great Britain: An Illustrated Introduction to Over 300 Species in May, and Kyle Books will publish Wild Flowers of Britain and Ireland: A Photographic Identification Guide to over 600 Species in April.
On the subject of insects and other invertebrates, we have the privately published Micro Moth Vernacular Names: A Nomenclatural Checklist of British Microlepidoptera, a technical monograph from the Paris Museum of Natural History: Critical Revision of the Heligmonellidae (Nematoda: Trichostrongylina: Heligmosomoidea), and a fold-out guide from the London Natural History Museum: An Illustrated Guide to the Land Snails and Slugs of Vietnam, all of which are in stock. We are also expecting stock of Cowries – A Guide to the Gastropod Family Cypraeidae, Volume 1: Biology and Systematics from ConchBooks, which is the first volume in a new series. If you are looking for a somewhat less technical read, an affordable paperback version of Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life is due in February, while Princeton University Press will publish Amazing Arachnids in June.
There are also some great palaeontology books on the horizon. Johns Hopkins University Press will publish the massive Smilodon: The Iconic Sabertooth in June, which draws together contributions from a large number of scientists. Harper Collins will publish Too Big to Walk: The New Science of Dinosaurs in May, which puts forward some novel interpretations of dinosaur lifestyle based on new fossil finds, and Whalebone, due April, which will be a book on palaeontological whale research.
On the topic of conservation biology, there is also a strong list of books coming. Cambridge University Press has announced The Science of Strategic Conservation: Protecting More with Less for March, giving valuable advice on how to get the best conservation bang for your buck, and Species Conservation: Lessons from Islands for May. Oxford University Press is providing a handbook on the latest technology with Conservation Drones: Mapping and Monitoring Biodiversity, which is due in June. Mark Cocker is writing Our Place: Can We Save British Nature Before it is Too Late?, which is due from Jonathan Cape in April. A paperback version of Client Earth from Scribe Publications is due in May, Penguin will publish the paperback of Inheritors of the Earth: How Nature is Thriving in an Age of Extinction in June, Bloomsbury will release a B-format paperback of Dead Zone: Where the Wild Things Were in March, while The Unnatural World: The Race to Remake Civilization in Earth's Newest Age has just been released in paperback by Scribner Books. And lastly, Comstock has announced The Birds at My Table: Why We Feed Wild Birds and Why It Matters for March, which pulls together what we know, and don't know, about the ecological effects of feeding wild birds. On a related note, Penguin will publish The Human Planet: How We Created the Anthropocene, authored by Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin who have published on this topic in the journal Nature.
Interested in evolutionary biology or history of science? Pelagic Publishing has revealed Biology in Transition: The Life and Lectures of Arthur Milnes Marshall for May. McGill-Queens University Press has announced Luminous Creatures: The History and Science of Light Production in Living Organisms, also due May. Two popular works on evolutionary biology are Quercus Publishing's Darwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution, due February, and Harper Collins's From Wolf to Woof: A Genetic History of Man's Best Friend, due March, which is one of several forthcoming books on human-wolf coevolution.
To round out this list, there are excellent nature writing books lined up. Bloomsbury has announced The Long Spring: Tracking the Arrival of Spring Through Europe for March. Peter Marren is currently writing Chasing the Ghost: My Search for all the Wild Flowers of Britain, which Square Peg has announced for April, while John Lewis- Stempel is working on The Wood: The Life & Times of Cockshutt Wood, due from Doubleday in March. Unicorn Press has announced a reprint of a classic book written by David Lack: Swifts in a Tower, due March. Jonathan Cape will publish Ground Work: Writings on People and Places in March, which is edited by Tim Dee and contains contributions from, amongst others, Richard Mabey and Helen Macdonald. We can look forward to paperback versions of Dave Goulson's Bee Quest in April, and Hugh Warwick's Linescapes: Remapping and Reconnecting Britain's Fragmented Wildlife in May (both Vintage). Earth to Earth: A Natural History of Churchyards is due for March, and is one of the few books we know of that looks at the wildlife found in and around graveyards.
A last book to mention, very much of regional interest, is A Natural History of Blackmoorfoot Reservoir, Huddersfield, of which we have obtained some of the last stock.
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.
