Collins New Naturalist Library (82) – The New Naturalists - Softcover
Synopsis
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.

The New Naturalists book by Peter Marren
Seller: West Cove UK, Wellington, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Softcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> I've always thought of myself as a New Naturalista hard-covered version of course and with rather good reason. The series and I were born in the same year, we grew up together and I have read them all. It's my great pleasure to own a complete set of first editions, together with all the Monographs, Country Naturalists and Countryside series. They are, however, not only among the most prized possessions in my library, they are also among the most used; no brown paper wrappers in dark places for my set. I refer to one or other almost daily and that in itself, to use an appropriate expression, speaks volumes. Whilst New Naturalists are now bought, collected and hoarded by some like stamps or coins, they are far more importantly still practical, for the most part highly readable, and certainly highly relevant compilations, and accounts of the numerous facets of British natural history. And as I pondered my response to Peter Marren's most kind invitation to write this Foreword to the new edition of his utterly excellent. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM590-VG-12502
