For his Sunday Book Review this week, Mark takes an pre-publication sneak peek into the forthcoming “Europe’s Dragonflies: A Field Guide to the Damselflies and Dragonflies” from Princeton University Press.

Mark’s Reviews
Mark Examines the New UK Mammal Atlas
Mark Avery’s Sunday book review this week looks at the new “Atlas of the Mammals of Great Britain and Northern Ireland” from Pelagic Publishing. Written and edited by a large team of highly skilled researchers, and with the backing of The Mammal Society, this remarkable new book “provides the most up-to-date information on the current distributions of both terrestrial and marine mammals in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.”
A British Perspective on North American Wolves
Whenever I visit the UK, I am invariably asked about my experiences with large animals. Bears, moose, puma, wolves – they’re all a source of curiosity to enquirers from a land where the largest wild land mammal most people will ever see is a Fox. I welcome such opportunities to talk of North America’s charismatic megafauna, of course, as it gives me the chance to in turn learn more about how the British people see the wildlife of their own land.
Mark on Mark
While Mark didn’t post a new Sunday Book Review this past weekend, he did receive a welcome message from his own agent regarding one of his own books: “Remarkable Birds.” Published by Thames & Hudson in 2016, it has since been translated from the original English into French, Spanish, Chinese and Russian, and is to date his “highest earning book to date.”
