Spring 2016

Sea Jellies Secrets of an ocean success story Jellyfish are mysterious creatures, luminously beautiful with remarkably varied life-cycles. These simple, ancient animals are found in every ocean at every depth, and have lived on Earth for at least the last 500 million years. Ominously, they are also increasing in number as they adapt well to marine environmental degradation. Sea Jellies is a timely title that looks at their anatomy, life history, taxonomy, and ecology, and includes species profiles featuring stunning marine photography that will have you scanning the depths with renewed interest. Lisa-ann Gershwin is director of the Australian Marine Stinger Advisory Services. She was awarded a Fulbright in 1998 for her studies on jellyfish blooms and evolution. She has discovered over 190 new species, including a new species of dolphin.

Seahorses

Spring 2016

A life-size guide to every species ✱ A comprehensive guide to one of the world’s most charming animal families ✱ Includes the 13 most recent seahorse species discoveries ✱ With exquisite photographs and lifesized silhouettes of every known species of seahorse

Seahorses are extraordinary creatures. They swim upright and spend days in dancing courtship. They are small, shy, and have heads shaped like miniature ponies. And the male carries the female’s eggs in his pouch and “births” the young. Found worldwide, they are sensitive to environmental disruption and are an obvious flagship group for conservation. Seahorses unveils every species, including the seadragons and pipefish that share the Sygnathidae family. Each of the 47 entries incorporates a photograph and description, so you can admire their beauty as you learn about their ecological importance. Sara Lourie worked on the award-winning BBC film Secret Lives of Seahorses, and has been a research associate on Project Seahorse for the last eight years. She co-authored the Global Identification Guide to Seahorses and has identified and described multiple new pygmy seahorse species.

Spring 2017

On the Edge of Existence The 100 most rare, most endangered mammals on earth There are over 20,000 species on the global IUCN Red List, nearly 5,500 of which are mammals. Because the rate of extinctions is far outstripping those species that are successfully conserved, we will not save them all. So which should we save? New genetic analysis offers a scientific solution to the problem: by focusing on the most evolutionarily unique and ancient species we can save more branches of the tree of life. On the Edge of Existence profiles the 100 most genetically distinct and geographically endangered mammals—the poster children for the new wave of endangered species recovery programs. Dr. Jonathan Baillie is a global authority on the status and trends of threatened species. He is Conservation Programmes Director at the Zoological Society of London. His extensive fieldwork experience includes research into and monitoring of the western lowland gorillas in Gabon; developing ecotourism sites in Central Africa; monitoring rare endemic birds in the Gulf of Guinea, and behavioral studies of desert baboons in Namibia.

✱ A 21st-century guide to those mammals most threatened by humankind ✱ Uses current genetic analysis to select those species most worthy to join a contemporary Noah’s Ark ✱ Enhanced photography and lively text bring the world’s most precious mammals to life for the reader

Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises

Autumn 2015

A global study The 89 species of the order of Cetacea are some of the most elusive creatures on the planet. Highly migratory, the huge distances they cover and the depths they dive to mean we catch only fleeting glimpses of their lives. Technological advances have, however, increased our understanding, and, for the first time, Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises gathers together all the most interesting new research, combining highlights from studies of the behavior of the world’s whales, dolphins, and porpoises with a field guide for observing them in the wild.

Skeletons The architecture of life Bone is one of the most extraordinary materials in the natural world—flexible and strong, available in a number of types and densities. Just look at the range of jobs it can do, from supporting a huge mammal like an elephant to enabling a bat to fly. And further back, scanning the distant past, scientists know what they know about the dinosaurs from their fossilized bones, reminders of how different our world used to be. Skeletons takes the virtuoso engravings of the 19th and early 20th centuries and marries them with a contemporary, readable text that brings them right up to date, creating an appealing mix of scientific eye candy and cutting-edge scholarship. Ben Prideaux graduated in natural sciences from the University of Cambridge, then worked for three years as Scientific Liaison Officer for a project on bird species evolution in Papua New Guinea. He is studying for a PhD at the University of Hamburg.

Bird Brain

Spring 2016

An exploration of avian intelligence

Also available:

An absorbing study of how birds think, revealing how science is exploding the myth of our feathered friends being “bird brained,” and how recent discoveries may call for us to re-evaluate how we identify and classify intelligence in other animals. Bird Brain will start by looking at the structures and functions of the avian brain, and move on to examine different types of intelligence by profiling the extraordinary behaviors of a broad range of the species, studying the masterminds of the avian world, and examining what types of behavior can be interpreted as “intelligence” as we would recognize it. Bird Brain will not only look at the well-studied species such as New Caledonian crows and parrots, but also cast a broader eye over the behavior of a wide range of species from around the world.

✱ An exploration of the extraordinary behavior of birds, from tool selection, improvement, and use, to long-term memory and bonding ✱ Approachable scientific text drawing from the most recent studies ✱ Beautifully presented with full-color images and clear explanatory illustrations

JACK CHALLONER

The microscopic cell is Earth’s greatest success story, and the common ancestor we share with all other organisms. Formed over three and a half billion years ago, life exploded from this minuscule powerhouse, first in the sea and then, over millions of years, across the land to create the complex living forms populating the planet today. How has such a minute organism been so powerful? What has enabled it both to create and to break down life on Earth over billions of years? And how have cells interacted to create such an extraordinary diversity of life? Here, Jack Challoner shines a spotlight on the story of the cell to explore how a myriad of interactions and symbiotic relationships have been the extraordinary catalyst for life.

A complete compendium of heritage vegetables, fruit & flowers Heirloom plants often have a charm lacking in commercially produced varieties. And unless these seeds are grown and saved, they will be not only forgotten, but lost, too. Based on the seed catalogs of Thomas Etty, Heirloom Plants lists exciting cultivars to be grown, along with profiles and cultivation tips. Responsible gardening, certainly—but with more than a hint of romance; who could resist the lure of the splendid Hubbard Green Warty squash, or the Green Zebra tomato?

From the earliest days of Hollywood, the pressures of fame led to a febrile atmosphere among its stars. The magic of the movies made audiences’ pulses quicken, but what was really happening in the lives of the actors up on the silver screen? Hollywood Love Stories looks at 14 real-life love affairs across the golden age of the movies, from the swashbuckling romance between Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford to the scandalous liaison between Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini.

The music world has seen some of the most iconic partnerships of all time—the reader feels almost on a first-name acquaintance with many of them: Sonny and Cher, Mick and Marianne, Elvis and Priscilla, Ike and Tina... Rock‘n’Roll Love Stories looks at 14 of the best, taking us from the 1950s up to the early 2000s.

Between the late-18th and the mid-20th centuries, many royal marriages represented the unions of dynasties, with true engagements of the heart notable for their rarity. Yet even royalty could fall in love, and this book is full of surprises, from the passionate letters of Edward VIII to Wallis Simpson, to the “undying love” that the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, felt for his Tsarina. Bringing the reader right up to modern times, these stories bring both the glamor and the contradictions of royalty vividly to life.

The science behind the bean Caffeine is the most widely consumed mind-altering molecule in the world; we cannot get enough of it, and drinking good coffee is our delivery system. How is it that coffee has such a hold? It’s all in the chemistry; the molecular structure of caffeine and the flavor-making phenols and fats that can be lured out from the bean by roasting, grinding, and brewing. Making good coffee depends on understanding the science: why water has to be at a certain temperature, what method works best with which grind, how roast affects taste, what happens when you add cream, which bean you start out with. How to Make Coffee lays out the scientific principles for the coffee-loving nonscientist; stick to these and you will never drink ordinary joe again. Lani Kingston is a culinary journalist, a researcher, and a trained chef from Melbourne, Australia—one of the world’s leading “coffee cities.” She travels the world, researching food and drink culture, methods and ingredients, and has consumed and studied more types of coffee than she can count in locations ranging from Mexico to Malaysia.
