In this edition: We feature an excellent new photographic guide to the mushrooms and toadstools routinely found in the parks, gardens and woodlands of Britain and Europe. We also highlight a new book that tells the the remarkable story of Flora and Fauna International, and a fantastic Atlas providing a detailed account of the birds found in the London area.
Other highlights: On the NHBS blog we chat with author Jonathan B. Losos about Improbable Destinies, his recent book on evolutionary biology. New additions to our bookshelves include an up-to-date guide to the stick insects of Singapore and a summary of the findings from the 2008-2013 Threatened Plants Project.
The introductory chapters cover the classification, identification and biology of fungi, with a helpful pictorial key to the main groups of fungi. An essential tool for both beginner and seasoned field mycologists working within conservation and ecology of urban environments.
Improbable Destinies: An interview with Jonathan B. Losos
Improbable Destinies: How Predictable is Evolution? is an incredibly enjoyable romp through evolutionary biology. It examines the phenomenon of convergent evolution and asks the question: how repeatable is evolution really?
After reading this book, our catalogue editor Leon contacted Jonathan to chat more about convergent evolution and the challenges of conducting field and laboratory experiments in evolutionary biology. This fascinating conversation can be read in full on the NHBS blog.
Nature Writing
The Seabirds Cry, Adam Nicolson's haunting and evocative hymn to their harsh and precarious existence, has been a highlight from this year's nature writing. Accompanying this was Marianne Taylor's exploration of the life of the hare in The Way of the Hare and Carlos Magdalena's search for the world's rarest plants in The Plant Messiah. The paperback releases of A Natural History of the Hedgerow and The Wood for the Trees have also been very well received. All of these and many more can be found in the new Nature Writing category.
