New in PaperbackBritain’s SpidersA Field GuideLawrence Bee, Geo� Oxford & Helen Smith

Britain’s Spiders is a photographic guide to all 37 of the British families, focussing on spiders that can be identi� ed in the � eld. Illustrated with a remarkable collection of photographs, it is designed to be accessible to a wide audience, including those new to spider identi� cation. This book pushes the boundaries of � eld identi� cation for this challenging group by combining information on features that can be seen with the naked eye or a hand lens with additional evidence from webs, egg-sacs, behaviour, phenology, habitats and distributions. As the � rst photographic � eld guide to British spiders to be published since 1989, this book � lls a major gap in the resources available to everyone with an interest in this fascinating, diverse and important group of animals.Britain’s Wildlife

This is an important and eye-opening book that clearly says: ‘keep Tiddles a house cat.’ ”—Adrian Barnett, New Scientist
