December 2019 Monthly Catalogue Welcome to the December 2019 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month. We have an all-round strong selection of books this month to see the year out with. Birdwatchers and ornithologists can look forward to the second edition of the highly successful Birds Britannica, due March from Chatto & Windus, as well as the New Naturalist, Uplands and Birds, due May from HarperCollins. An exceptional guide for practitioners is Raptor Prey Remains: A Guide to Identifying What’s Been Eaten by a Bird of Prey, due April from Pelagic Publishing. A sudden glut of books explores bird biology in a very accessible fashion: Bird Senses: How and What Birds See, Hear, Smell, Taste and Feel is due May from Pelagic Publishing; The Bird Way: A New Look at How Birds Talk, Work, Play, Parent, and Think is due May from Penguin; and How Birds Work: An Illustrated Guide to the Wonders of Form and Function – from Bones to Beak is due April from The Experiment. Then there is a new ABA guide, the American Birding Association Field Guide to Birds of Hawaii, due May, while for birders closer to home there is Birds in South-East Scotland 2007-13: A Tetrad Atlas of the Birds of Lothian and Borders. British mammals workers will be delighted with the publication of Atlas of the Mammals of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, due March from Pelagic Publishing. Bloomsbury is reissuing Mammals of Madagascar: A Complete Guide in March in unchanged form, which has been unavailable for some time and remains the definitive guide. Other interesting titles are Animals of the Brecks: Mammals, Reptiles & Amphibians from the BTO and Whales' Bones of Africa and Asia from Redman Publishing, which concludes that series. For other vertebrate groups we similarly have some outstanding titles. Ichthyologists will want to take a look at Frogfishes: Biodiversity, Zoogeography, and Behavioral Ecology, due March from Johns Hopkins University Press – Theodore Pietsch is an authority on this group of deep-sea anglerfishes. For herpetologists there is Alligators: The Illustrated Guide to Their Biology, Behavior, and Conservation, also due March from Johns Hopkins University Press. We have received stock of the rather scrumptious photographic field guide Reptiles of the Galápagos: Life on the Enchanted Islands, published by the Universidad Tecnológica Indoamereica, while from Natural History Publications Borneo we received word of the upcoming A Guide to Snakes of Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, due January, and the narrative Opogi: A Bornean Crocodile, available now. Entomologists are also well served this month, especially those interested in Lepidoptera. In May, NatureBureau will publish Moths of the West Midlands while Simon & Schuster will publish The Language of Butterflies: How Thieves, Hoarders, Scientists, and Other Obsessives Unlocked the Secrets of the World's Favorite Insect. More technical and internationally oriented are The Butterflies of Russian Far East (Khabarovskiy and Primorskiy Kray, Jewish Autonomous and Amur Regions), Sakhalin and Kuril Islands from Tshikolovets Publications and the 2-volume set Butterflies of Vietnam, Volume 4: Nymphalidae, published by Alexander Monastyrskii. Both of these are currently in stock. Siri Scientific Press will publish the second edition of True Bugs of the World (Hemiptera: Heteroptera): Classification and Natural History in January. Those interested in insect biology can either turn to the popular scientific introduction How Insects Work: An Illustrated Guide to the Wonders of Form and Function – from Antenna to Wings, due April from The Experiment, or the more technical Insect Metamorphosis: From Natural History to Regulation of Development and Evolution, due April from Academic Press. For botanists and mycologists, too, there are some outstanding titles on the horizon. Schweizerbart Science Publishers has just released The Sphagnum Species of the World, while NatureFocus Publishing has just supplied us with stock of the second edition of Wild Flowers of the Mani: A Comprehensive Photographic Identification Guide for the Flowers of the Mani Peninsula in Southern Greece. Pocket guides for the British market this month come in the form of Flowers of the Brecks, Part 2: Wetland, Woodland & Farmland, published by the BTO, and the second edition of Start to Identify Grasses, which is due in an enlarged format in January. After this year's glut of fantastic fungus books, we are not done yet; May will see Cambridge University Press publish the second edition of the 21st Century Guidebook to Fungi, while Bodley Head will release Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures, which sounds like an unusual but fascinating title. Turning to the topic of biodiversity and conservation biology there is a raft of academic titles to announce for practitioners. In April, Cambridge University Press will publish Conservation Research, Policy and Practice in their Ecological Reviews Series, and Freshwater Biodiversity: Status, Threats and Conservation in their Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation series. Island Press will publish Primer of Ecological Restoration in March, while Pelagic Publishing has just published Wildlife and Wind Farms, Conflicts and Solutions, Volume 4: Offshore: Monitoring and Mitigation – the last part in that series. Focused more on particular groups are Invasive Birds: Global Trends and Impacts, due May from CABI, and the second edition of Why Every Fly Counts: Value and Endangerment of Insects, available this month from Springer. More on the narrative side of the spectrum are Into Wild Mongolia, written by George Schaller, which is due April from Yale University Press, and Owls of the Eastern Ice, written by Jonathan Slaght, which is due June from Allen Lane. Environmental issues receive attention in the paperback release of Bill McKibben's Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?, due January from Wildfire, while Profile Books is releasing the second edition of How Bad Are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything in May. Oekom Verlag in Germany has just published At the Expense of Others? How the Imperial Mode of Living Prevents a Good Life for All, while an enlarged version of Greta Thunberg's No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference has just been released by Allen Lane. For ecologists and evolutionary biologists the pickings are a bit slim this month, though the books are interesting. Springer will publish The Evolution of Feathers: From Their Origin to the Present in February, while Oxford University Press will publish the fourth edition of Theoretical Ecology: Concepts and Applications in April. Finally, for those looking for a good book to sit down with, there are some excellent environmental history and nature writing titles coming and all of the following are due in May. Allen Lane will publish Rivers of Power: How a Natural Force Raised Kingdoms, Destroyed Civilizations, and Shapes Our World, while Princeton University Press will release New Guinea: Nature and Culture of Earth's Grandest Island, authored by New Guinea expert Bruce Beehler. And there will be three paperback reissues: Robert MacFarlane's Underland: A Deep Time Journey and Julian Hoffman's Irreplaceable: The Fight to Save Our Wild Places, both published by Hamish Hamilton, and Gavin Thurston's Journeys in the Wild: The Secret Life of a Cameraman, published by Orion. 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. On behalf of myself and the team at NHBS, we thank you for your attention and custom this year and wish you a safe and enjoyable end of 2019. We look forward to continuing offering you many more informative, exciting, and wonderful books next year.
