A huge thank you to the team at NHBS for developing this range with us, we cannot wait to share the new range of kits at our events and at Ento, our annual scientific conference. As a charity and membership organisation, we aim to empower entomologists through partnerships such as this one with NHBS, to support insect science at every level.” – Dr Luke Tilley FRES, Director of Communications & Engagement, Royal Entomological Society | | | Identification Guide to Trees | | An Identification Guide to Trees of Britain and North-West Europe is a brilliant guide detailing how to identify 89 of the most common tree species in Britain and North-west Europe.

Blue Machine: book review | The paperback edition of Blue Machine is due in May – pre order here | | Physicist Helen Czerski takes a deep dive into the darkest depths of the ocean, and examines the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and depend on it for survival. Drawing on many years of experience at the forefront of marine science, as well as human-interest stories, she captures the magnitude of the world’s oceans and the extent to which we are at the mercy of this great, powerful engine.
Read NHBS catalogue editor Dr Leon Vlieger’s review of Blue Machine on the Conservation Hub. |
