March 2019 Monthly Catalogue Welcome to the March 2019 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month. We have an exciting line-up for bird books this month. First off, Bloomsbury has now announced the long-awaited and oft-delayed Birds of Mongolia Helm Field Guide for August. Although we keep our fingers crossed it will not be delayed further, quite a few details have been released, which typically indicate that a book has entered the final phases of the production process. Other titles of interest to birdwatchers are Urban Aviary: A Modern Guide to City Birds, authored by Stephen Moss, which is due August from Aurum Press, and Mastering Bird Photography: The Art, Craft, and Technique of Photographing Birds and Their Behavior, due March from Rocky Nook. If the latter is as good as their earlier bird photography book we are in for a treat. If you need inspiration for your bucket list, then the reissue of David Chandler & Dominic Couzen's 100 Birds to See in Your Lifetime: The Ultimate Wish-List for Birders Everywhere, due April from Carlton Books, is the book to get. More scholarly ornithology titles this month include Birds of Nottinghamshire, due July from Liverpool University Press, the second edition of Effects of Climate Change on Birds, due June from Oxford University Press, and the recently released Whooping Cranes: Biology and Conservation, published by Academic Press. For other animal groups, we have a few books each this month. On the subject of mammals, we just received stock of Sloths: Life in the Slow Lane, published by the Sloth Conservation Foundation, and can announce The Elephant Reader: From Aristotle and Ivory to Science and Conservation, due August from Trinity University Press. For herpetologists we have Reptiles of Costa Rica: A Field Guide is due August from Cornell University Press, and Crocodiles of the World: The Alligators, Caimans, Crocodiles and Gharials of the World, due May from New Holland. Finally, we have stock of two titles from the Malagasy publisher Association Vahatra: the French field guide Les Amphibiens du Nord de Madagascar, and, for entomologists, the bilingual English-French field guide Ants of Madagascar: A Guide to the 62 Genera. Conservation biologists can look forward to two titles from Oxford University Press: Satellite Remote Sensing and the Management of Natural Resources, due April, and Saving the Dammed: Why We Need Beaver-Modified Ecosystems, due July. Cambridge University Press will publish Biological Extinctions: New Perspectives in July and Earthscan focuses on lions with Humans and Lions: Conflict, Conservation and Coexistence, due June. Lastly, Dave Goulson is writing The Garden Jungle: Or Gardening to Save the Planet, due July from Jonathan Cape.
