This week's #NewBooks at the library: Some classic literature that I bought second-hand.
- A Plague of Sheep: Environmental Consequences of the Conquest of Mexico, published by Cambridge University Press (which was removed from the holdings of the University of Plymouth Charles Seale-Hayne Library just down the road from me!)
- Carl Safina's classic Song for the Blue Ocean: Encounters Along the World's Coasts and Beneath the Seas, published by Henry Holt
- and Extinctions in Near Time: Causes, Contexts, and Consequences, published by Springer.

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books.

On the left, A Plague of Sheep, showing a black cover with the title in large font.

In the middle, Song for the Blue Ocean, showing a colour photo of a calm ocean with a breaching dolphin.

On the right, Extinctions in Near Time, showing a black cover with the title in white front and a white diagram of a world map with small drawings of various species of now extinct megafauna dotted around the map.
