Welcome to the March 2024 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month.

We have several noteworthy titles on different vertebrate groups. Two high-profile bird titles that have been announced are The Golden Eagle Around the World: A Monograph on a Holarctic Raptor, due in April from Hancock House Publishers, and the 2-volume ID Handbook of European Birds, due in July from Princeton University Press. A notable ornithological rerelease is William T. Cooper's Capturing the Essence: Techniques for Bird Artists, due in June from CSIRO. On the subject of mammals, we have four titles. Two recently published books are The Evolution of Dasyurid Marsupials: Systematics and Family History, published by CRC Press as a co-publication with CSIRO in Australia, and The Physiology of Dolphins, published by Academic Press. Two other mammal books are forthcoming in August, namely Primate Socioecology: Shifting Perspectives from Johns Hopkins University Press and Cetacea from Springer, the latest addition to their ongoing Handbook of the Mammals of Europe series. Herpetologists can look forward to Turtles of North America: An Illustrated Field Guide to the Turtles of the Continental United States and Canada, which is due in May from Firefly Books.

On the topic of insects and other invertebrates, two titles that are coming in March are The Larger Moths of Scotland from Triphosa Publications and An Introduction to the Butterflies of Cyprus: A Photographic Pocket Guide to the Identification of the Resident Species and Regular Immigrants from Brambleby Books. Two recently published books are Butterflies of the Levant, Volume 4: Lycaenidae from 4D MicroRobotics Publications (this is the third volume to be published, with volume 1 remaining) and Living Muricidae of the World - Ocenebrinae from ConchBooks.

Bridging the subject areas of invertebrate biology and botany are a further five titles produced by Australian microscopist David Seamer. After the success of the first two titles, we have now added the full range of his guides which includes Beginners Guide to Freshwater Diatoms and Beginners Guide to the Desmids, and three more specialist guides to protozoa: An Illustrated Guide to the Freshwater Free-Living Peritrichs, An Illustrated Guide to the Freshwater Peritrich Cothurnia, and An Illustrated Guide to the Freshwater Ciliate Stentor.

Botanists can look out for Roots: A Field Guide For Identification, which has just been published by the Arboricultural Association, and Atlas of Chinese Native Orchids, which has just been published by Springer. Furthermore, there are two additions to the ongoing Flora of Thailand published by the Thai Forest Herbarium: Volume 4, Part 3.3: Leguminosae - Papilionoideae, and Volume 16, Part 2: Zingiberaceae.

On the subject of conservation and other environmental issues, there are three excellent titles scheduled for August: Treewilding: Our Past, Present and Future Relationship with Forests and the paperback of Traffication: How Cars Destroy Nature & What We Can Do About It, both published by Pelagic Publishing, and The Biology and Conservation of Animal Populations, published by Johns Hopkins University Press. In June, Texas A & M University Press will publish the paperback of the 2021 rerelease of Sylvia Earle's book Sea Change: A Message to the Oceans (originally published in 1995). An interesting title that has just been published by Pensoft is Weather Stations for Biodiversity: A Comprehensive Approach to an Automated and Modular Monitoring System. Despite what the title suggests, this is not a book about weather stations, but about the use of automated sensors, analogous to weather stations, to monitor biodiversity. Lastly, Patagonia Books recently published The New Fish: The Truth about Farmed Salmon and the Consequences We Can No Longer Ignore.

The final three titles that caught our eye fall under the rubric of natural history and nature writing. Springer has recently published A Natural History of the Emirates, an area on which very few, if any, books are available in English. Two upcoming paperback reissues are The Jewel Box: How Moths Illuminate Nature's Hidden Rules coming in June from Weidenfeld & Nicolson, and Finding Eden: A Journey into the Heart of Borneo coming in August from I.B. Tauris.

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.
