Both these books are due this month. We further stock The Butterflies of Afghanistan and a special issue of ZooKeys: Catalogue of Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera) of North America, both which have just been published.

Oxford University Press will publish The Biology of Grasslands in July, though details for this book are still scant at the moment. And we have stock of two hard-to-find titles from the Seychelles: Vallée de Mai (Seychelles): A Primeval Palm Forest, a Nature Reserve and a UNESCO Heritage Site and Striking Plants of Aride Island (Seychelles).
