August 2018 Monthly CatalogueWelcome to the August 2018 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month.

We are really excited to announce that we will be distributing the two-volume Handbook of the Bees of the British Isles, which will be published by the Ray Society inSeptember. This massive and authoritative work is set to be a once-in-a-generation account. In other insect news, the FSC has justpublished Atlas of the Hydrophiloid Beetles of Britain and Ireland, which is in stock now. In other invertebrate news, if you are interested in spiders, we now have stock ofWeb Watching: A Guide to Webs & the Spiders That Make Them, which is a unique guide dedicated to spider webs. And the French Muséum National d'Histoire Naturellewill publish Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos, Volume 30: Chirostylidae of the Western and Central Pacific: Uroptychus and a New Genus (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) inSeptember.

For the other major animal groupings we also have several interesting books to mention. Starting off with mammals, Oregon State University Press willpublish Wild Migrations: Atlas of Wyoming's Ungulates in October, which highlights that we are getting to a point that enough data are being gathered through wildlifetelemetry and tracking devices that we can start drawing up distribution atlases for some species. The University of Chicago Press hasannounced A Manual of the Mammalia: An Homage to Lawlor's "Handbook to the Orders and Families of Living Mammals" for January 2019, presenting a long-overduerevision of Lawlor's 1979 identification guide. We are expecting stock of Primates of East Africa: Pocket Identification Guide, a new fold-out guide from ConservationInternational. Cambridge University Press has announced a hefty, 800-page tome with Primates in Flooded Habitats: Ecology and Conservation, due December.

After the success of Harper Collin's Curlew Moon, birdwatchers can also look out for The Eastern Curlew: The Extraordinary Life of a Migratory Bird, which presents theperspective from a nature writer on the other side of the globe on this migratory species. Next year January will also see the publication of New Naturalist 139:Garden Birds, which will be written by none other than the BTO's Mike Toms. Once we have the upcoming New Naturalist on The Burren out of the building, we willprocess standing orders for this volume. We furthermore have stock of two slightly updated versions of Dave Gosney's privately produced birdwatching guides to Morocco,one for the coastal and mountainous regions, one for the desert region.

For herpetologists we have two big titles coming up. Bloomsbury will publish Amphibians of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East: A Photographic Guide in January,while CSIRO will publish a revised 7th edition of Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia in October.

On the subject of botany, we currently have stock of Wild Flowers of the Algarve, Volume 2: Herbaceous Plants and The Palms of Cuba, both of which have beenpublished privately by their respective authors. Noteworthy, especially for librarians is the recent publication by Jak Kaw Press of the massive 7-volume setThe Illustrated History of Apples in the United States and Canada, which is the result of 30 years of research and editing.

We have a large number of excellent titles dealing with conservation and biodiversity to mention this month. Oxford University Press has just publishedSocial Science Theory for Environmental Sustainability: A Practical Guide in their Techniques in Ecology and Conservation Series. We also have received stock for thelatest addition to the Excellence in Ecology series published by the International Ecology Institute:Freshwater Acidification: Natural History, Ecology and Environmental Policy, as well as stock of Practical Management of Invasive Non-Native Weeds in Britain and Ireland,published by Packard Publishing. Yale University Press has announced Biodiversity and Climate Change: Transforming the Biosphere, while Cambridge University Presshas released details for Plant Conservation: The Role of Habitat Restoration, and a new volume in their Ecological Reviews series, simply called Rewilding – all three ofthese are due for January. Island Press will publish Vaquita: Science, Politics, and Crime in the Sea of Cortez in September, which promises to be an excellent piece ofinvestigative journalism on this threatened marine mammal. Lastly, the Marine Conservation Society has co-authoredHow to Live Plastic Free: A Day in the Life of a Plastic Detox, published by Headline, which is now available.

Finally, two excellent environmental history titles worth mentioning are the paperback reissue of Energy and Civilization: A History in October by MIT Press, andTropical Forests in Human Prehistory, History, and Modernity, due January 2019 from Oxford University Press.

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.
