Welcome to the December 2024 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month.

Starting with birds, we are very pleased to announce that Miles McMullan's bestselling Field Guide to the Birds of Colombia has now been published in its updated and improved fourth edition. This month will also see Lynx publish the second edition of Birds of Spain. HarperCollins has announced Bird School: A Beginner in the Wood for April, a new book by Adam Nicholson of Seabird's Cry fame.

Turning to mammals, the paperback of Derek Gow's Hunt for the Shadow Wolf: The Lost History of Wolves in Britain and the Myths and Stories That Surround Them is due in May from Chelsea Green. That same month, Birlinn Publishing will release Waters of Life: Fighting for Scotland's Beavers. Ediciones La Biblioteca del Naturalista is about to release the first of a three-volume Spanish-language mammal fauna for Argentina with Mamíferos de Argentina, Tomo 1: Marsupiales, Primates, Quirópteros y Ungulados, covering marsupials, primates, bast, and ungulates.

For herpetologists, there are two field guides on snakes coming from Pelagic Publishing, both due in May: Snakes of Peninsular Thailand and Field Guide to the Snakes of Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland).

A single entry on deep-sea fauna is the most recent addition to the ongoing series Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos from the Paris Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle with Volume 34: Deep-Sea Chirostylids and Stylasterids from South-West Indian Ocean.

Turning to botany, we have a range of books. Bloomsbury has announced Alpine Flowers: The Complete Field Guide for May, Kew will publish Saving Orchids: Stories of Species Survival in a Changing World in April, and Fourth Estate has announced the paperback of The Light Eaters: The New Science of Plant Intelligence for publication in May. Two books on forests and trees that are due in May are Tree-Hunting: 1,000 Trees to Find in Britain and Ireland's Towns and Cities from Particular Books and Forgotten Forests: Twelve Thousand Years of British and Irish Woodlands from HarperCollins

On the subjects of conservation and other environmental issues, various titles piqued our interest. A practical book is Field Guide to Invasive Plants and Animals in Britain, due in January from Bloomsbury. A good read, co-authored by Sir David Attenborough and Colin Butfield, is Ocean: How to Save Earth's Last Wilderness, due in May from John Murray. Librarians will be particularly interested in the first two volumes of a series on biodiversity hotspots with Biodiversity Hotspot of the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka and Biodiversity Hotspot of the Himalaya, both recently published by Apple Academic Press. A trio of thought-provoking books are the edited collection The Heart of the Wild: Essays on Nature, Conservation, and the Human Future from Princeton University Press; Patrick Galbraith's Common Ground: Why Our Relationship with the Land Needs a Radical Rethink, due in April from HarperCollins; and Tony Juniper's Just Earth: How a Fairer World Will Save the Planet, due in March from Bloomsbury.

Finally, a miscellany of titles covers various subject areas. General natural history comes in the form of Exmoor, HarperCollins's next New Naturalist due in March, and The RSPB Everyday Guide to British Wildlife: Identify Our Common Species and Learn More About Their Lives, due in May from Bloomsbury. Nature writing is provided by Robert MacFarlane's new Is A River Alive?, due in May from Hamish Hamilton and the paperback of Ian Carter's Human, Nature: A Naturalist’s Thoughts on Wildlife and Wild Places, due in May from Pelagic Publishing. Readers interested in the history of science can look out for Nature's Memory: Behind the Scenes at the World's Natural History Museums, due in April from Allen Lane, and The Redouté Brothers: Masters of Scientific Illustration in Paris, just published by the Paris Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. Finally, for those interested in palaeontology there is Mark Witton's King Tyrant: A Natural History of Tyrannosaurus rex, due in May from Princeton University Press.

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.
