P Northridge Aims to provide an account of the distribution of all 28 cetacean species that are known certainly to have occured in the waters off north-west Europe in the last 25 years, but also including narwhal and melon-headed whale for which records are as recent only as the 1940's. Individual chapters cover a particular species in detail spanning identification, behaviour and social organisation, diet and habitat preferences, worldwide distribution and their status in the north Atlantic. Also includes a map and description of their occurrence in north-west Europe. The Methods chapter describes data collection methods, database establishment, brief details of the analytical methods, and a section on map interpretation. Other chapters describe the nature of the marine environment of the study area, and present information on the current legislative instruments aimed at protecting cetaceans. softcover | 2003 | £8.50 | approx. $13/€10 (reduced from £17) - pbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=158777"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/174993.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=158777"> Handbook of the Mammals of the World, Volume 1: Carnivores </a> Edited by Don E Wilson and Russell A Mittermeier This eagerly anticipated first volume in the landmark series deals with the following families: African Palm Civet; Cats; Linsangs; Civets, Genets and Oyans; Hyenas; Mongooses; Euplerids; Dogs; Bears; Red Panda; Racoons; Skunks; Weasels, Martens, Polecats, Badgers and Otters.

Long-term waterbird count data have been combined with an extensive literature review, especially published results of bird ringing and national bird atlases, to produce maps showing the population boundaries that are used as a basis of the conservation of these species. The maps are supported by informative species accounts that highlight the movements, population status and conservation of waders in the AEWA region. Many wader species depend for their survival on networks of key sites for breeding, for moulting, and for building reserves of fat and protein to fuel their incredible migrations. Identified key sites are also shown on the maps, and listed in detailed and informative tables. The information presented in this Atlas will be of use and interest to anyone involved in the conservation or study of wetlands and waterbirds. In particular, it will provide parties to international treaties such as the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and AEWA (under the Convention on Migratory Species) with a basis for the conservation of waders and the sites and habitats necessary for their survival. It will also be useful for other nature conservation practitioners such as nature reserve wardens, and of interest to birdwatchers and those who spend time in the places graced by these wonderful birds. hardcover | 2009 | £50 | approx. $71/€56 (reduced from £70) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=4736"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/65/6582.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=4736"> Birds of the High Andes </a> A Manual to the Birds of the Temperate Zone of the Andes and Patagonia, South America J Fjeldsa and N Krabbe A beautifully illustrated and much needed guide, written by two leading experts on the birdlife of the High Andes.

Swallows, martins, swifts, warblers, wagtails, wheatears, cuckoos, chats, nightingales, nightjars, thrushes, pipits and flycatchers pouring into Britain from sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of the enduring wonders of the natural world. Each bird faces the most daunting of journeys - navigating epic distances, dependent on bodily fuel reserves. Yet none can refuse. Since pterodactyls flew, twice-yearly odysseys have been the lot of migrant birds. For us, for millennia, the Great Arrival has been celebrated. From The Song of Solomon, through Keats' Ode To a Nightingale, to our thrill at hearing the first cuckoo call each year, the spring-bringers are timeless heralds of shared seasonal joy. Yet, migrant birds are finding it increasingly hard to make the perilous journeys across the African desert. Say Goodbye to the Cuckoo is a moving call to arms by an impassioned expert: get outside, teach your children about these birds, don't let them disappear from our shores and hearts. hardcover | NYP 04/2009 | £15.50 | approx. $22/€18 (reduced from £16.99) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=30894"> Seabird Concentrations in the North Sea: An Atlas of Vulnerability to Surface Pollutants </a> IC Carter, JN Williams, A Webb and ML Tasker An important reference book, in view of the recent oil-spill disasters in Europe.

Wildfowl - swans, geese and ducks - have been the subject of poetry, fables, folklore and music, and a source of inspiration to writers, artists, historians and naturalists alike. Historically, they have featured prominently in our diet - more recently they have become the most widely domesticated group of birds. Wildfowl have been scientifically studied more intensively than any other group of birds and were one of the first groups to highlight more general issues of conservation. Their status as the most popular group of birds is underlined by the success of the original Wildfowl Trust (now the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust). David Cabot has been obsessed with wildfowl for nearly sixty years. In this seminal new work, he discusses the 56 species of wildfowl that have been recorded either in a natural state, or that have been introduced and now maintain self-sustaining populations in Britain and Ireland. He focuses on their social behaviour, feeding ecology and population dynamics, and in particular their seasonal migration patterns. He also explores the evolution and history of wildfowl and our long relationship with them, through popular mythology and legends, which continue to fascinate us with a sense of mystery and awe. hardcover | NYP 05/2009 | £38.99 | approx. $56/€44 (reduced from £50) - hbk <hr> <h2> <a name="3"></a> Zoology: Reptiles & Amphibians</h2> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=161938"> Crocodiles </a> Luc Fougeirol Crocodiles have existed for 220 million years and they have fascinated mankind since the dawn of time. Honoured like Gods in ancient Egypt or venerated like guardian angels in Burkino Faso, they are nevertheless more commonly known to be awesome predators. Hidden amongst the tropical vegetation of Latin America's vast wetlands, or in the swamps of Africa or the marshlands of Florida, the crocodiles keep watch. But these ferocious reptiles also make wonderful parents and form real social links amongst themselves. Nowadays, they live in fear and from now on the danger is a human one. In certain parts of the world, the survival of these creatures is threatened by pollution, hunting and invasion of their habitat. In this book, Luc Fougeirol leads us on a trail of discovery of 23 species of crocodile, from 4 different continents. hardcover | 2009 | £22.99 | approx. $33/€26 (reduced from £24.99) - hbk <hr> <h2> <a name="5"></a> Zoology: Invertebrates</h2> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=9457"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/29/29980.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=9457"> Additions and Amendments to the Distribution of the Marine Molluscs of North West Europe </a> D Seaward spiralbound | 1993 | £10 | approx. $15/€12 (reduced from £20) - spiralbound <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=5494"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/22/22779.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=5494"> The Butterflies and Moths of Hampshire & the Isle of Wight: Additions and Corrections </a> B Goater Hampshire has probably the richest butterfly fauna in England, with its conservation being of national importance.

Superorganisms - tightly knit colonies of individuals, formed by altruistic co-operation, complex communication and division of labour - represent one of the basic stages of biological organisation, midway between the organism and the species. As the authors demonstrate, the study of the superorganism has led to important advances in our understanding of how the transitions between such levels have occurred in evolution and how life has progressed from simple to complex forms. Visually spectacular, The Superorganism provides a deep look into a part of the living world hitherto glimpsed by only a few. "The term "superorganism" was coined in 1928 by the great American ant expert William Morton Wheeler ... Holldobler and Wilson's book is a self-professed and convincing appeal for its revival." - Tim Flannery, The New York Review of Books hardcover | 2009 | £32.99 | approx. $47/€37 (reduced from £34.99) - hbk <hr> <h2> <a name="6"></a> Palaeontology</h2> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=160783"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/177382.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=160783"> Fossils </a> The Key to the Past Richard Fortey This is a clear and authoritative introduction to fossils, their study and their use in reconstructing the history of life on Earth.

Until now, Desmond and Moore argue, the source of the moral fire which gives such intensity and urgency to Darwin's ideas has gone unnoticed. By examining minutely Darwin's manuscripts and correspondence (published and unpublished) and covert notebooks, where many of the clues lie, they show that the key to unlocking the mystery of how such an ostensibly conservative man could hold views which his contemporaries considered both radical and bestial, lay in his utter detestation of slavery. hardcover | 2009 | £19.99 | approx. $29/€23 (reduced from £24.99) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=161320"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/178077.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=161320"> Decoding the Heavens </a> Solving the Mystery of the World's First Computer Jo Marchant In 1900, a group of sponge divers blown off course in the Mediterranean discovered an Ancient Greek shipwreck dating from around 70 BC. Lying unnoticed for months amongst their hard-won haul was what appeared to be a formless lump of corroded rock, which turned out to be the most stunning scientific artefact we have from antiquity. For more than a century this 'Antikythera mechanism' puzzled academics, but now, more than 2000 years after the device was lost at sea, scientists have pieced together its intricate workings. Unmatched in complexity for 1000 years, it was able to predict eclipses and track the paths of the Sun and the Moon through the zodiac, and probably even showed ancient astronomers the movements of the five known planets. In Decoding the Heavens, Jo Marchant tells for the first time the story of the 100-year quest to understand this ancient computer. Along the way she unearths a diverse cast of remarkable characters - ranging from Archimedes to Jacques Cousteau - and explores the deep roots of modern technology not only in ancient Greece but in the Islamic world and medieval Europe too. At heart an epic adventure story, it is a book that challenges our assumptions about technology transfer over the ages while giving us fresh insights into history itself. hardcover | 2008 | £10.99 | approx. $16/€13 (reduced from £12.99) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=148161"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/174255.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=148161"> New Theories of Everything </a> John D Barrow Will we ever discover a single scientific theory that tells us everything that has happened, and everything that will happen, on every level in the Universe? The quest for the theory of everything - a single key that unlocks all the secrets of the Universe - is no longer a pipe-dream, but the focus of some of our most exciting research about the structure of the cosmos. But what might such a theory look like? What would it mean? And how close are we to getting there? In New Theories of Everything, John D. Barrow describes the ideas and controversies surrounding the ultimate explanation. Updating his earlier work Theories of Everything with the very latest theories and predictions, he tells of the M-theory of superstrings and multiverses, of speculations about the world as a computer program, and of new ideas of computation and complexity. But this is not solely a book about modern ideas in physics - Barrow also considers and reflects on the philosophical and cultural consequences of those ideas, and their implications for our own existence in the world. Far from there being a single theory uniquely specifying the constants and forces of nature, the picture today is of a vast landscape of different logically possible laws and constants in many dimensions, of which our own world is but a shadow: a tiny facet of a higher dimensional reality. But this is not to say we should give up in bewilderment: Barrow shows how many rich and illuminating theories and questions arise, and what this may mean for our understanding of our own place in the cosmos. softcover | 2008 | £7.99 | approx. $12/€9 (reduced from £8.99) - pbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=160746"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/177340.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=160746"> A Passion for Nature </a> The Life of John Muir Donald Worster "I am hopelessly and forever a mountaineer," John Muir wrote. "Civilization and fever and all the morbidness that has been hooted at me has not dimmed my glacial eye, and I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature's loveliness. My own special self is nothing." In Donald Worster's magisterial biography, John Muir's "special self" is fully explored as is his extraordinary ability, then and now, to get others to see the sacred beauty of the natural world. A Passion for Nature is the most complete account of the great conservationist and founder of the Sierra Club ever written. It is the first to be based on Muir's full private correspondence and to meet modern scholarly standards. Yet it is also full of rich detail and personal anecdote, uncovering the complex inner life behind the legend of the solitary mountain man. It traces Muir from his boyhood in Scotland and frontier Wisconsin to his adult life in California right after the Civil War up to his death on the eve of World War I. It explores his marriage and family life, his relationship with his abusive father, his many friendships with the humble and famous (including Theodore Roosevelt and Ralph Waldo Emerson), and his role in founding the modern American conservation movement. Inspired by Muir's passion for the wilderness, Americans created a long and stunning list of national parks and wilderness areas, Yosemite most prominent among them. Yet the book also describes a Muir who was a successful fruit-grower, a talented scientist and world-traveler, a doting father and husband, a self-made man of wealth and political influence. A man for whom mountaineering was "a pathway to revelation and worship." For anyone wishing to more fully understand America's first great environmentalist, and the enormous influence he still exerts today, Donald Worster's biography offers a wealth of insight into the passionate nature of a man whose passion for nature remains unsurpassed. hardcover | 2008 | £16.99 | approx. $25/€20 (reduced from £18.99) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=161802"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/178685.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=161802"> Plant Hunters </a> Carolyn Fry "The Plant Hunters" tells the story of our obsession with plants. This book contains topics that range from the entourage of Alexander the Great which included naturalists to the establishment of botanical gardens and the discovery through exploration of the plants that have made or broken economies, such as tulips, tea and rubber.

Strung around the globe across five continents, they are natural cathedrals on the grandest scale, their lush, humid precincts not only places of great beauty but also home to more than fifty per cent of the world's known wildlife species. This is biodiversity at its most dramatic: a bewildering variety of plants, birds, mammals and invertebrates depend on the rainforest environment, with the total number of species continuing to grow almost daily as scientists make constant new discoveries. Yet, while we still have so much more to learn about rainforests, they are disappearing - cleared and burned, thanks to human greed for land and demand for timber and other forest resources. In "Rainforest Safari", James Parry explores these extraordinary landscapes with reference to 25 sites, and reveals the fascinating range of wildlife they support. The book looks at the various types of rainforest, at their different ecosystems and at the diverse features that make them such exciting places to visit." Rainforest Safari" also looks at the human dimension of rainforests: at the indigenous peoples whose way of life is firmly rooted in the forest ecosystem, at the devastating impact of uncontrolled deforestation and other forms of exploitation, and at the conservation work now under way to try and save what is left of these unique habitats. In the final chapter, the book takes a forward view, assessing what the future may hold for rainforests, especially in view of their value in the battle to stem climate change. hardcover | 2008 | £24.99 | approx. $36/€28 (reduced from £29.99) - hbk <hr> <h2> <a name="9"></a> Regional Natural History & Travel</h2> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=160290"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/176774.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=160290"> The Arctic </a> The Complete Story Richard Sale Richard Sale is one of the world's leading Arctic scholars and explorers and a professional glaciologist.

These 'watery lands' symbolise the eternal contrast between land and water, suggesting mystery and adventure, romanticism and beauty. For centuries, they have stimulated the imaginations of writers, artists, historians and naturalists alike. The genetic isolation of islands often leads to the development of unique elements in the flora, fauna and wildlife. In his fourth New Naturalist volume, Professor R. J. Berry takes a broad look at the islands that lie off the shore of Britain and Ireland, exploring their biology, geography, geology and climate, and examining changes that have occurred in the past and how these become relevant for future developments. Laced throughout with Professor Berry's expertise and enthusiasm, this all-encompassing, engrossing volume is a lyrical journey of the islands that shape our imagination and our awareness. Berry presents a wealth of scientific information which will be read and enjoyed by expert and amateur alike. hardcover | 2009 | £38.99 | approx. $56/€44 (reduced from £50) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=117900"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/12/126977.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=117900"> Mammals, Amphibians and Reptiles of Hertfordshire </a> Michael Clark Containing over 600 illustrations, this book describes what members of the Hertfordshire Natural History Society have discovered about the distribution and lives of these animals over the last thirty years.

It forms part of the worldwide Darwin 200 programme in 2009 which looks back at Darwin's achievements, debates his findings, and seeks to develop further his theories. This accessible book takes its title from Darwin's own assessment of what had determined his success as a man of science: 'the love of science - unbounded patience... industry in observing and collecting facts - and a fair share of invention as well as common sense.' Though the tone of the book is celebratory, it does not shy away from criticism, whether with reference to the creationist argument that evolution is inherently false, the intelligent design argument that sees a role for a maker in the process or more scientifically rigorous challenges. But its main focus is Darwin's work and its impact, in the context of his own times through to the present day.

Adrian Forsyth draws on four decades of personal encounters with the animals of the rainforest-including poison-dart frogs, three-toed sloths, bushmasters, and umbrellabirds-as a starting point to communicate key ecological topics such as biodiversity, coevolution, rarity, chemical defense, nutrient cycling, and camouflage. The luminous photographs capture stunning and rare creatures in action, including the now- extinct golden toad mating, a jaguar on the prowl, and the hermit hummingbird feeding. The behaviors and characteristics of the rainforest inhabitants featured here not only illustrate the text but also advance the scientific narrative and exemplify the critical importance of conservation. Thematic chapters are interspersed with four chapters devoted to specific habitats and regions of Costa Rica and Peru, areas with some of the most diverse arrays of plant and animal species in the world. The result is an exuberant celebration of the rainforest in text and images. softcover | 2008 | £13.99 | approx. $20/€16 (reduced from £16.50) - pbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=60316"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/65/65066.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=60316"> Nature Reserves: Who Needs Them? </a> Edited by TG Lawson and TM Reed Contains 18 papers or short presentations comprising the proceedings of a conference by the Nature Conservancy Council in Birmingham in 1991, many with a 1995 postscript.

Of all the crises facing the contemporary world, water is the most serious. Pollution has enhanced natural increases in global warming which is leading to both desertification and flooding as weather becomes more unstable, as well as poisoning scarce water supplies, which then leads to major health and environmental problems. Water is everywhere wasted whether in agriculture, irrigation, domestic, or industrial use. This timely book reviews likely future scenarios and looks at possible solutions including reforestation, watershed and waste management, appropriate technology, new laws, and community level initiatives. softcover | 1995 | £9 | approx. $13/€11 (reduced from £18) - pbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=111057"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/11/119318.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=111057"> The Wetlands Handbook, Volumes 1 and 2 </a> Edited by E Maltby A major 2 volume reference work providing a comprehensive and functional account of wetlands in the wider global environment.

But a few things puzzled him. One was how inheritance works - he did not know about genes. This book concerns another of Darwin's Dilemmas, and the efforts of modern palaeontologists to solve it. What puzzled Darwin is that the most very ancient rocks, before the Cambrian, seemed to be barren, when he would expect them to be teeming with life. Darwin speculated that this was probably because the fossils had not been found yet. Decades of work by modern palaeontologists have indeed brought us amazing fossils from far beyond the Cambrian, from the depths of the Precambrian, so life was certainly around. Yet the fossils are enigmatic, and something does seem to happen around the Cambrian to speed up evolution drastically and produce many of the early forms of animals we know today. In this book, Martin Brasier, a leading palaeontologist working on early life, takes us into the deep, dark ages of the Precambrian to explore Darwin's Lost World. Decoding the evidence in these ancient rocks, piecing together the puzzle of what happened over 540 million years ago to drive what is known as the Cambrian Explosion, is very difficult. The world was vastly different then from the one we know now, and we are in terrain with few familiar landmarks. Brasier is a master storyteller, and combines the account of what we now know of the strange creatures of these ancient times with engaging and amusing anecdotes from his expeditions to Siberia, Outer Mongolia, Barbuda, and other places, giving a vivid impression of the people, places, and challenges involved in such work. He ends by presenting his own take on the Cambrian Explosion, based on the picture emerging from this very active field of research. A vital clue involves worms - burrowing worms are one of the key signs of the start of the Cambrian. This is fitting: Darwin was inordinately fond of worms. hardcover | 2009 | £15.99 | approx. $23/€18 (reduced from £16.99) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=157390"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/173297.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=157390"> Facts and Speculations in Cosmology </a> Geoffrey Burbidge and Jayant Narlikar A thought-provoking insight into the evolution of cosmology for undergraduate students and general readers, this book shows that the mystery of the origin of the universe is far from being solved. Cosmology has advanced over time through observational evidence as well as a lot of speculation. In this historical approach, the authors argue that the speculative element has become a dominant part of modern cosmology. They show how assumptions have been made and portrayed as confirmed facts. This unique book gives not only a critical assessment of the big bang theory, but presents a host of anomalous observations, and puts forward an alternative, controversial theory on the origin of the universe. A non-mathematical account, it contains analogies from everyday life so that readers can understand the concepts easily and follow the arguments presented. hardcover | 2008 | £27.99 | approx. $40/€32 (reduced from £29.99) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=48889"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/52/52759.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=48889"> An Introduction to the Geological Conservation Review </a> Edited by NV Ellis et al This book explains why Britain's earth heritage is important and how the national series of Earth heritage sites was identified in the Geological Conservation Review.

We have determined much about the nature and origin of the Universe and our place in it, but with virtually all evidence of our origin long since gone from our world and an unimaginably vast Universe still to explore, defining answers are difficult to obtain. For all of the difficulties facing us however, the planet Mars may act as a `cosmic stepping stone' in uncovering some of the answers. Although different today, the origin and early history of both Earth and Mars may have been similar enough to consider an origin to life on both. But because Mars' planetary processes collapsed over three billion years ago - just as life was beginning to flourish on Earth - a significant and unique record of activity from that era perhaps relevant to the origin of life still resides there today. In recognition of this, both the US and Europe are currently engaged in one of the most ambitious programs of exploration ever undertaken. Built on our legacy of Mars exploration from the Viking era and before, a far-reaching, phased, program of robotic exploration now and over the coming decades aims at obtaining definitive answers about the origin and nature of the red planet and what it has to say about the origin and cosmic abundance of life. This book examines these issues in one of the most comprehensive treatments ever written about the planet Mars and our legacy of engagement with it, in language suitable for non-expert and expert alike. Opening chapters consider the question of life in the Universe and the origin of life on Earth and what challenges face us in uncovering defining answers. With a realization of its importance in this, the next section examines the legacy of our engagement with Mars. From Kepler's work on its orbit, Schiaparelli's efforts to resolve its surface features and NASA's Mariner and Viking programs attempting to determine whether life resides upon the surface, Mars has remained elusive, yet always prodding and extending our capabilities in exploration and our perception of our place in the Universe. Subsequent chapters consider our current understanding of the planet and the recently devised comprehensive program for scientific exploration. All recent, current and upcoming missions and the latest findings are discussed in detail, providing our best understanding yet of a vast and ancient landscape indeed characterized by significant activity relevant to our quest and which also points to a planet far from dead today. Late chapters consider NASA and ESA plans for Mars over the next thirty years, increasingly shaped by the scientific successes to date, unprecedented public interest and by issues of planetary protection. And with mounting political interest, our program for Mars may culminate in a human mission to Mars, perhaps sometime around 2040. The greatest discovery, however, remains to be made. If even one microbe is found on Mars, it will reveal a cosmic context for life with Earth as one place among many harboring life, confirming our cosmic origins and destiny. hardcover | 2008 | £22.50 | approx. $32/€26 (reduced from £24.50) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=157452"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/173365.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=157452"> Mars </a> From Myth and Mystery to Recent Discoveries Markus Hotakainen The ruddy colour and erratic movements of Mars have fascinated the imagination of mankind for millennia.

It covers the evidence in the rock record for Pleistocene glaciations, fluctuating sea levels during and between these catastrophic cold phases, and the presence of ancient flora and fauna, including early Man. The severe climatic decline that characterizes the last part of the Cenozoic Era ends with the present (Holocene) interglacial, a period of rapid vegetational change reflecting the climatic improvement which has come with the last ten thousand years of geological time. The layout of this volume reflects a dual need: to demonstrate adequately the scientific and conservation interest of the localities it describes, and to elucidate the significance of sites in the context of the volume and of the Quaternary of Britain. Each locality is described in detail in a detailed self-contained account, each is given in the context of an area, the geology and geomorphology of which is described in a chapter introduction. hardcover | 1989 | £13.50 | approx. $20/€16 (reduced from £27) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=159911"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/17/176325.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=159911"> Three Steps to the Universe </a> From the Sun to Black Holes to the Mystery of Dark Matter David Garfinkle and Richard Garfinkle If scientists can't touch the Sun, how do they know what it's made of? And if we can't see black holes, how can we be confident they exist? Gravitational physicist David Garfinkle and his brother, science fiction writer Richard Garfinkle, tackle these questions and more in "Three Steps to the Universe", a tour through some of the most complex phenomena in the cosmos and an accessible exploration of how scientists acquire knowledge about the universe through observation, indirect detection, and theory. The authors begin by inviting readers to step away from Earth and reconsider our Sun. What we can directly observe of this star is limited to its surface, but with the advent of telescopes and spectroscopy, scientists know more than ever about its physical characteristics, origins, and projected lifetime. From the Sun, the authors journey further out into space to explore black holes. The Garfinkle brothers explain that our understanding of these astronomical oddities began in theory, and growing mathematical and physical evidence has unexpectedly supported it.From black holes, the authors lead us further into the unknown, to the dark matter and energy that pervade our universe, where science teeters on the edge of theory and discovery. Returning from the depths of space, the final section of the book brings the reader back down to Earth for a final look at the practice of science, ending with a practical guide to discerning real science from pseudoscience among the cacophony of print and online scientific sources. "Three Steps to the Universe" will reward anyone interested in learning more about the universe around us and how scientists uncover its mysteries. hardcover | 2008 | £12.50 | approx. $18/€14 (reduced from £17.50) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=149619"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/16/164023.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=149619"> Unmasking Europa </a> Alien Biosphere on an Ocean Moon Richard Greenberg Jupiter's ice moon Europa is widely regarded as the most likely place to find extraterrestrial life.

Used and abused as an essential resource, it is vital that we understand and manage them as much as we appreciate and enjoy them. This extraordinary reference brings together the very best research to provide the basic and advanced information necessary for scientists to understand these ecosystems - and for water resource managers and consultants to manage and protect them for future generations. hardcover | NYP 04/2009 | £520 | approx. $738/€582 (reduced from £650) - hbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=56081"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/60/60590.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=56081"> Fish-Eating Birds </a> Proceedings of a Seminar to Review Status, Interactions with Fisheries and Licensing Issues Edited by JS Holmes and P Clement softcover | 1996 | £2 | approx. $3/€3 (reduced from £8) - pbk <hr> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=46917"> <img src="/web/20090426052503im_/http://www.nhbs.com/images/jackets/50/50608.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="15" vspace="15"></a> <a href="/web/20090426052503/http://www.nhbs.com/catalogue/display/t=46917"> The Tomorrow of Malaria </a> Socrates Litsios This book explores the history of malaria from an environmental, epidemiological, and socio-economic viewpoint, with the aim of helping the reader understand why malaria is still a major public health problem today, and what its future control prospects are. It describes the different `schools of malaria control' that have existed, and how the arrival of DDT changed their thinking. `This is a fine, powerful little book. I would make all molecular-malaria graduate students read it before they clone their first gene... Come to that, I would insist that their mentors read it too.'
