Welcome to the June 2023 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month.

We have some excellent mammal titles this month. Lynx will publish All the Mammals of the World in July, which will be the capstone of the Handbook of the Mammals of the World series and provides a pictorial guide to all mammals in a single volume. Two cetacean titles to look out for in September are Sea Mammals: The Past and Present Lives of Our Oceans' Cornerstone Species from Princeton University Press and Sex in Cetaceans: Morphology, Behavior, and the Evolution of Sexual Strategies from Springer. Lastly, the University of New Mexico Press will publish Wild Carnivores of New Mexico in November.

For other vertebrate groups, there are a couple of interesting titles each. HarperCollins will release an updated edition of David Attenborough's classic The Life of Birds in November while the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature in Jordan is publishing the booklet Socotra's Special Birds. Edition Chimaira has just released two amphibian titles with Amphibians of Cambodia: A Field Guide and Midwife Toads: The Genus Alytes: History, Ecology, Systematics, Captive Breeding. Regarding fish we have one book on sharks coming in October from Polity Press: In the Name of Sharks.

On the topic of insects, noteworthy titles this month are Bees of Costa Rica, due in November from Comstock, and the paperback of The Mind of a Bee, due in October from Princeton University Press. For other invertebrate groups, we have several titles of interest to specialists. ConchBooks has just published The Conchological Albums – Terrestrial Molluscs, Volume 14: Clausiliidae (2) and Compendium of Chitons: A Guide of Recent Polyplacophora, while SANBI has recently published A Taxonomic Monograph of the Sea Cucumbers of Southern Africa (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea).

One particularly exciting book for botanists is Aquatic Plants of Northern and Central Europe including Britain and Ireland, due in August from WILDGuides. A more technical work is Flora of Peninsular Malaysia, Series II: Seed Plants, Volume 9, recently published by the Forest Research Institute Malaysia. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew will be publishing two large Colombia-themed books in July of interest to, respectively, botanists and mycologists: Catalogue of Useful Plants of Colombia and Catalogue of Fungi of Colombia.

On the subject of conservation biology and ecology, we can announce a range of important titles. W.W. Norton is publishing Ben Goldfarb's Crossings: How Road Ecology Is Shaping the Future of Our Planet in October and we just became aware of Plant Life: The Entangled Politics of Afforestation, a thoughtful critique of tree planting initiatives published last year by the University of Minnesota Press. Springer has recently published Causal Factors for Wetland Management and Restoration: A Concise Guide, authored by Paul A. Keddy who previously wrote the well-known textbook Wetland Ecology. Dorling Kindersley is publishing Habitats: Earth's Precious Wild Places Revealed in October, Bloomsbury has announced the paperback reissue of Wilder: How Rewilding is Transforming Conservation and Changing the World for November, and Princeton University Press is publishing the third edition of How to Do Ecology: A Concise Handbook in August.

Readers interested in palaeontology are spoiled by Princeton University Press with three upcoming titles. In October they will release Dinosaur Behavior: An Illustrated Guide, followed in November by Ocean Life in the Time of Dinosaurs and the paperback reissue of When the Sahara Was Green: How Our Greatest Desert Came to Be.

Finally, a miscellany of three titles are Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Portfolio 33, due in October from the London Natural History Museum; the fifth edition of the Bradt Wildlife Guide: Madagascar Wildlife, due in August; and All Through the Night: Why Our Lives Depend on Dark Skies, due in September from HarperCollins.

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.
