Welcome to February's Monthly Catalogue, the most comprehensive buyer's guide to new and
forthcoming titles in natural history, conservation and the environment.
Each month we add hundreds of new titles from small and large publishers around the world to our online catalogue at www.nhbs.com. This Monthly Catalogue highlights our latest 400 titles that have been hand-picked for inclusion. The catalogue provides key bibliographic data plus convenient hyperlinks to more complete information and nhbs.com online shopping - an invaluable resource. Each month's catalogue is sent out as an HTML e-mail (a plain text version is available on request). As always, each title entry is the product of a human selection process - we choose the titles we offer for sale, rather than just taking an automatic feed from bibliographic sources.
