Britain's Spiders - Due 19th May
Pre-publication offer
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. Limitations to field identification are also explained.
This book is designed to be accessible to a wide audience. It also 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.

A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia
Due June 2017
This Field Guide features over 1300 colour photographs and is the most comprehensive account of Australian spiders ever published. With more than two-thirds of Australian spiders yet to be scientifically described, this book sets the scene for future explorations of the Australian fauna.
On the blog - Truth and Post-Truth in Science
Has Britain really had enough of experts? Will 'post-truth' retain the title international word of the year it won in turbulent 2016? To help readers see through the spin and hyperbole, evolutionary biologist Leon Vlieger, NHBS' catalogue editor, looks at some of the books on the broad scientific consensus that climate change is a reality, on the clash between evolutionary theory and religion – still going strong 158 years after Darwin published On the Origin of Species – and on truth and post-truth in science. This week we start off with the introduction and the section on climate change

Where have all the insects gone?
A new long term data set collected by the Krefeld Entomological Society at more than 100 nature reserves in western Europe since the 1980s shows a calamitous, 80% fall in the total mass of their catches.

Less than 30 of the world's 'panda of the sea' remain
Vaquitas are only found in Mexico’s Upper Gulf of California and are the world’s smallest cetacean. With a ban on gill netting, the cause of most vaquita mortality, expiring on 31st May WWF is calling for immediate action.
