Dear customers,

Welcome to the Autumn & Winter Catalogue 2006, bringing together the finest new, bestselling and forthcoming releases in natural history publishing from around the world. As always, every book listed here can be ordered from our website, www.nhbs.com, where you will find the most up-to-date information on over 100,000 titles in wildlife, science and conservation.

We are pleased to highlight an increase in the range of titles in all scientific subjects. Our selection of botany books has been substantially increased while astronomers in particular will find a much larger selection of titles than before.

Our website continues to go from strength to strength as we endeavour to maintain our status as the internet’s first and last stop for naturalists, conservationists, scientists and librarians. Our blog keeps readers informed of the books and news making waves in the NHBS office whilst also offering a quick and simple method for you to leave feedback and opinions for everyone to read.

Summer 2006 also saw us busy on the road again, travelling to Hamburg for the International Ornithological Congress, Hungary for the 1st European Congress of Conservation Biology, France for the International Society for Behavioural Ecology’s Annual Conference, and Rutland Water for the British Birdfair. These trips are always enjoyable and invaluable as they give us an opportunity to meet and talk with so many of our existing customers, to gain some new ones and to get a feel for new developments in the subjects we cover.

The book industry moves fast and natural history/environmental publishing is no exception. To stay abreast of all the latest publications, you can sign up for our free monthly catalogue, sent by e-mail, which lists up to 500 new titles every month. If you haven’t already signed up, simply e-mail subscribe@nhbs.co.uk. Libraries can also receive discounts on all our titles, please contact customer.services@nhbs.co.uk to find out more or set up a library account.

We hope that you find much of interest and value in this catalogue, and that you will also not hesitate to contact our Customer Services department with your other book requirements or any book-related queries. They are here to help!

Wishing you a very happy Autumn and Winter,

Nigel Massen

General Manager

Supporting Conservation

NHBS is involved in supporting conservation at many levels - we consider this a key part of what we do and how we interact with conservation bodies and non-commercial publishers.

Gratis Books
Working in close collaboration with Professor William Sutherland at the University of East Anglia, we have distributed copies of his Conservation Handbook and Bird Ecology & Conservation to people working in science and conservation in developing countries. The next title to be offered is Ecology: From Individuals to Ecosystems.

"Thanks a million for your thoughtfulness. I received the Conservation Handbook. It is very useful to my project. Once again thank you very much and may the good God bless us all as we strive to make the environment a better place to live." J Grody Dorbor, Liberia

World Land Trust
The Books for Conservation programme is an exciting partnership between the World Land Trust and NHBS. From simple beginnings in 2002 when we donated surplus books to the WLT, this programme has developed into an important resource for struggling NGOs throughout the world. To date NHBS have donated hundreds of books to this WLT donation programme.
