NHBS Grapevine - The Best of Our Books & Equipment
#63 
22nd November 2017   

About Us
In this edition: We are delighted to shine a spotlight on Plants of the World, the first book to cover every family of vascular plant in the world. Continuing with the botanical theme we also highlight the recently published Nature’s Leaves, which explores the biology, chemistry and culture of the humble leaf.

Other highlights: On the NHBS blog this week we have a great interview with Mike Toms, author of Flight Lines, as well as a discussion of the top 100 papers recommended for ecologists. We go on a journey to discover the wildlife wonders of the Indian subcontinent with Wild India and Leon’s bookshelf is packed full of exciting new arrivals to our warehouse as well as new additions to our catalogue.

Plants of the World: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Vascular Plant Families
Hardback | October 2017
This comprehensive book is the first to cover every vascular plant family in the world, including all families of lycopods, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms. Organised in modern phylogenetic order, over 450 families are described with information relating to their characteristics, relationships, etymology, economic uses and distribution.
The 100 best articles for ecologists
Keeping up to date with the latest research is a key part of any career in science. However, the push for researchers to publish early in their career and at frequent intervals means that there is now a seemingly unconquerable body of literature available to sift through. 
A recently published paper in Nature, Ecology and Evolution has addressed this problem by providing ecologists with a list of 100 seminal papers chosen to establish a well-rounded understanding of ecology. Read more about the article and the final list in our recent blogpost.
Flight Lines: Interview with Mike Toms

The Flight Lines Project is a collaboration between the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) and the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA).
Using a unique combination of art, stories and science, this project aims to explore the lives of migrant birds and to highlight the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world.

In this interview with Flight Lines author, Mike Toms, we talk about the relationship between art and science, the importance of volunteer ornithologists and cultural differences in our attitudes to birds.
New insights into early life-at-sea behaviour of grey seal pups
Research into the foraging behaviours of grey seal pups by the University of Plymouth could help to determine which habitats are most crucial to them during development, and will inform future conservation decisions.

Key sediment samples collected in perilous expedition to Svalbard
Following five years of previously unsuccessful attempts, researchers have managed to collect important sediment samples from Svalbard Lake. These samples will provide detailed information about past environmental change and will help with future climate predictions.

UN Climate Change Conference 
The UN Climate Change Conference took place from 6th -17th November in Bonn, Germany. Presided over by the Governor of Fiji, this conference aimed to unite nations in a bid to tackle global warming and create a sustainable climate plan.
