Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 304 pp, 16 colour plates and over 100 black-and-white ills. A Guide to the famous and much-collected "New Naturalists" series. From the blurb: "with this book, the Collins New Naturalist Library reaches its half- centenary. Many of the titles in the series have become natural history classics, and played an important part in shaping and informing a popular interest in British natural history and conservation. The idea for the series came from a belief that the latest scientific research, written by the leading experts in their field, would be welcomed by the lay reader so long as it was written and presented in an attractive way. This belief was vindicated when the first book, Butterflies by E. B. Ford, became an instant bestseller on its publication in 1945. The New Naturalists reveals for the first time the behind-the-bookshelf story of the New Naturalist Library: who the authors were and what they did; how each title was conceived and received; the much admired jackets; and the trials, tribulations and triumphs of what has been described as the most significant and long-running natural history series in the world. Above all, The New Naturalists is a celebration of a natural history golden age, when field naturalists and scientific ecologists were able to combine their skills to produce an era of discovery that will probably never be equalled." Very Good. 50th anniversary sticker on front wrapper (as issued).

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Crisp, clean and tightly bound. A small number of discreet pencil marks. 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.
