crocodiles

This week's #NewBooks at the library: I bought used copies at very sharp prices of Biology and #Evolution of #Crocodylians from Comstock Publishing Associates, and Imperial Nature: #JosephHooker and the Practices of Victorian Science from the University of Chicago Press, and adopted a damaged copy of @bugmanjones's Shieldbugs from HarperCollins.

In the middle, Imperial Nature: Joseph Hooker and the Practices of Victorian Science, showing dark red wooden shelves densely packed with folders containing dried plants. In the foreground are two herbarium sheets with dried plants

On the right, Shieldbugs, showing a colour drawing of a red-and-black shieldbug.
