NHBS Grapevine - The Best of Our Books & Equipment
#49 
20th April 2017   

About Us
In this edition: Celebrate the arrival of spring by trying something new - see our Best of Spring offering for inspiration! We also focus on three new and forthcoming books including the latest New Naturalist, Early Humans; a fascinating new book that advances our understanding of bird migration over the Himalayas, and an amazing new field guide to the Britain’s Spiders.

On the blog, our book cataloguer / evolutionary biologist, Leon introduces a new book about one of the world’s longest running artificial selection experiments. We also highlight books that offer insights into the secret lives of both Flies and natural history museum Curators, conservation of the plant genus Commiphora, and Pufferfish and their allies.

Have a look at Leon’s Bookshelf for the latest arrivals at our warehouse and important new book titles catalogued and Luanne’s Kit Bag for the best night vision and thermal imaging equipment.

Early Humans - Due May 2017
Our understanding of the British Palaeolithic and Mesolithic has changed dramatically over the last three decades, and yet not since H. J. Fleure's A Natural History of Man in Britain (1951) has the New Naturalist Library included a volume focused on the study of early humans and their environment.
 In this long overdue new book, distinguished archaeologist Nick Ashton uncovers the most recent findings and paints a picture of the first human visitors to this remote peninsula of north-west Europe.

Bird Migration Across the Himalayas: Wetland Functioning Amidst Mountains and Glaciers - Now in stock
Birds migrating across the Himalayan region fly over the highest peaks in the world, facing immense physiological and climatic challenges. Capitalising on knowledge generated through satellite telemetry, the authors describe the migratory routes of a multitude of birds flying over or skirting the Himalayas. The myriad of threats to migratory birds and the wetland system in the Central Asian Flyway are discussed, along with ways to mitigate them.

Britain's Spiders - SAVE 27.5%
Britain’s Spiders is the first photographic field guide to British spiders to be published since 1989. Individual accounts cover 390 of Britain's approximately 660 species, including all 37 of the British families with the limitations to field identification explained.
 
The book is designed to be accessible to a wide audience, but pushes the boundaries of field identification 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.
