A history of the most successful, significant and long-running natural history series in the world In 1995 Collins published the 82nd volume in the New Naturalist series to coincide with its 50th anniversary. Ten years on, Peter Marren has revised this fascinating account of the series. He covers the illustrious careers of its authors, how each title was conceived and received, and includes plates of the sketches and roughs of the jackets. It also gives behind-the-scenes details of the also-rans and the books-that-never-were. This will appeal to the collector's market -- it has a lengthy appendix dedicated to collecting the series with advice on how to spot a good edition, and a star rating according to scarcity -- and will mark the 60th anniversary of the publication of the first new naturalist title. Peter Marren is a trained ecologist who worked as a woodland scientist, conservation officer and author-editor with the Natural Conservancy Council between 1977 and 1992. He has written numerous book and articles and contributes regularly to British Wildlife.… (altro)

Peter Marren has written a wonderful book, indeed one of the most readable titles in a remarkable series. He has distilled the appeal of the whole lot into one volume. I commnd it in the strongest terms to bibliophiles and naturalists alike. If you buy no other title in the series, buy this. Having bought it, you will find it hard to resist collecting the others.

With the approach of the half century since the publication of the first New Naturalist, E. B. Ford's Butterflies, in 1945, the commissioning of a commemorative volume on the series become a highly desirable aim.

From Butterflies to Ladybirds the library has kept bright the flame of British natural history for half a hundred years. Long may that flame endure.
The Mole. Plenty of Moles about, often in immaculate condition. Make sure it is the home-produced Collins one and not the US or Reader's Union variety (on the other hand, if that doesn't matter to you, ignore this advice). Rating: *
And we are proud to be able to add that our garden is now just what it should be, according to the latest New Naturalist author, Michael Majerus, to ensure that we have plenty of ladybirds, the most desirable natural objects of them all.
