#newbooks — Public Fediverse posts

This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes: Further Reflections In Natural History from W.W. Norton & Co., another second-hand addition to my growing collection of #StephenJayGould's essays.
- A deeply discounted copy of The Trouble with #AncientDNA: Telling Stories of the Past with Genomic Science by Anna Källén from the University of Chicago Press.
- And because I'm a fan of moody street photography, a deeply discounted copy of Unfamiliar Underground: Finding the Calm in the Chaos of London's Tube Stations by Victoria Louise Howard from The History Press.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Three more books from the January clearance sale of my employer:
- The Rise of Horses: 55 Million Years of Evolution from Johns Hopkins University Press (one I might just review in tandem with a more recent book on horse evolution. At some point.)
- Extraction to Extinction: Rethinking our Relationship with Earth's Natural Resources from @sarabandbooks.
- The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long Term in a Short-Term World from WH Allen. Somewhere there is a review series brewing about long-term thinking (no, not *that* sort of long-termism!)

This week's #NewBooks at the library: second-hand copies of...
- Charles Lyell: The Years to 1841: The Revolution in Geology. Having reviewed Radical by Nature two years ago made me want to read up on other historical natural historians of this time period. There is no good recent book on the early geologist Charles Lyell. The standard is still the two books written by Leonard G. Wilson, which are the first two parts of an unfortunately unfinished trilogy. I obtained the second book some time ago, and now managed to buy the first part at a very decent price via eBay.
- The Feejee Mermaid and Other Essays in Natural and Unnatural History
- Biominerals and Fossils Through Time. Reviewing Fossilization made me want to understand more about the physical basis of fossilisation.
