“This well-organized and well-written field guide
occupies a unique niche, in that it covers all of Central
America south of Mexico. The consistently high-qual-

Birds of Central America
Birds of Central America is the first comprehensive
field guide to the avifauna of the entire region. Handy
and compact, the book presents text and illustrations
for nearly 1,200 resident and migrant species, and
information on all rare vagrants. The guide also
contains up-to-date range maps and concise notes
on distribution, habitat, behavior, and voice. An
introduction provides a brief overview of the region’s
landscape, climate, and biogeography.

Galápagos
The Galápagos Islands are home to an
amazing variety of iconic creatures, from
Giant Tortoises, Galápagos Sea Lions,
Galápagos Penguins, and Ghost Crabs to
Darwin’s finches, the Blue-footed Booby,
and Hummingbird Moths. But how precisely do these animals manage to survive on—and in the waters
around—their desert-like volcanic islands, where fresh water is always scarce, food is often hard to come
by, and finding a good mate is a challenge because animal populations are so small? In this stunning
large-format book, Galápagos experts Walter Perez and Michael Weisberg present an unprecedented
photographic account of the remarkable survival behaviors of these beautiful and unique animals.
WALTER PEREZ is a photographer and naturalist who has been working in the Galápagos for two decades.
MICHAEL WEISBERG is a science educator, documentary filmmaker, and philosopher of science at the
University of Pennsylvania, where he codirects the Galápagos Education and Research Alliance.

Gulls of the World
With more than fifty gull species in the world, this
family of seabirds poses some of the greatest field
identification challenges of any bird group: age-related
plumage changes, extensive variations within species,
frequent hybridization, and complex distribution.
Gulls of the World takes on these challenges and is the
first book to provide a comprehensive look at these
birds. Concise text emphasizes field identification,
with in-depth discussion of variations as well as
coverage of habitat, status, and distribution. Abundant
photographs highlight identification criteria and,
crucially, factor in age and subspecific field separation.

watchers’ insects. Large, brightly colored, active in
the daytime, and displaying complex and interesting
behaviors, they have existed since the days of the di-
nosaurs, and they continue to flourish. There are more
than 6,000 odonate species known at present, and you
need only visit any wetland on a warm summer day to
be enthralled by their stunning colors and fascinating
behavior. In this lavishly illustrated natural history,

Field Guide to the Flower Flies
of Northeastern North America
This is the first comprehensive field guide to the flower
flies (also known as hover flies) of northeastern North
America. Flower flies are, along with bees, our most
important pollinators. Found in a varied range of
habitats, from backyard gardens to aquatic ecosystems,
these flies are often overlooked because many of their
species mimic bees or wasps. Despite this, many
species are distinctive, and even subtly differentiated
species can be accurately identified. This handy and
informative guide teaches you how.
Summarizing the current scientific understanding of
our flower fly fauna, this is an indispensable resource

“[T]he art of the classic field guide is not lost but alive and well in these two volumes. . . . Both are ‘must-haves’ for the serious raptor aficionado.” —Phil Slade, Another Bird Blog “These guides are a must-have for all raptorphiles!” —Ian Paulsen, Birdbooker Report Birds of Prey of the East and Birds of Prey of the West Birds of Prey of the East and Birds of Prey of the West, are the most comprehensive and authoritative field guides to North American birds of prey ever pub- lished. Written and lavishly illustrated with stunning, lifelike paintings by leading field-guide illustrator, photographer, and author Brian Wheeler, the guides depict an enormous range of variations of age, sex, color, and plumage, and feature a significant amount of plumage data that have never been published before. The painted figures illustrate plumage and species comparisons in a classic field-guide layout. Each species is shown in the same posture and from the same viewpoint, which further assists comparisons. Facing-page text includes quick-reference identifica- tion points and brief natural history accounts that incorporate the latest information. The range maps are exceptionally accurate and much larger than those in other guides. They plot the most up-to-date distri- bution information for each species and include the location of cities for more accurate reference. Finally, the guides feature color habitat photographs next to the maps. The result sets a new standard for guides to North America’s birds of prey. BRIAN K. WHEELER has been studying, painting, and photographing birds of prey throughout the United States and Canada for more than fifty years. He is the illustrator of Hawks of North America (Peterson Field Guides), the coauthor and photographer of A Photo- graphic Guide to North American Raptors (Princeton), and the author and photographer of Raptors of Eastern North America and Raptors of Western North America (Princeton).

How Plants Work
All the plants around us today are descended from
simple algae that emerged more than 500 million years
ago. While new plant species are still being discovered,
it is thought that there are around 400,000 species in
existence. From towering redwood trees and dimin-
utive mosses to plants that have stinging hairs and
poisons, the diverse range of plant life is extraordinary.
How Plants Work is a fascinating inquiry into, and
celebration of, the complex plant kingdom.

14The Lives of Bees
Humans have kept honey bees in hives for millennia,
yet only in recent decades have biologists begun to
investigate how these industrious insects live in the
wild. The Lives of Bees is Thomas Seeley’s captivating
story of what scientists are learning about the behavior,
social life, and survival strategies of honey bees living
outside the beekeeper’s hive—and how wild honey bees
may hold the key to reversing the alarming die-off of
the planet’s managed honey bee populations.
Seeley presents an entirely new approach to beekeep-
ing—Darwinian Beekeeping—which enables honey
bees to use the toolkit of survival skills their species
has acquired over the past thirty million years, and to
evolve solutions to the new challenges they face today.
The Lives of Bees reveals how we can become better
custodians of honey bees and make use of their resourc-
es in ways that enrich their lives as well as our own.

This book recovers the intersections between natural
history, politics, art, and philosophy in the late

turned to the study of nature in this era of political
