This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- I found a much reduced copy of Contesting Earth's History in Transatlantic Literary Culture, 1860–1935: Believers and Visionaries on the Borderlines of #Geology and #Palaeontology, published by Oxford University Press
- I was so taken with Guillermo del Toro's visual take on #Frankenstein, I bought the book on the making of the movie by Sheila O'Malley, published by Titan Books.
- I found a second-hand copy of The Spirit of System: #Lamarck and #EvolutionaryBiology, published by Harvard University Press, which should come in handy for a future review on Lamarck.

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.

On the left, Contesting Earth's History in Transatlantic Literary Culture, 1860–1935, showing a colourful hardback with colour illustrations of prehistoric and current animals, following the traditional scala naturae order of placing the less developed animals at the bottom and two naked humans at the top.

In the middle, Frankenstein, showing a large bordeaux-red hardback with a colour photo of Frankenstein's monster, looking back at the viewer over its shoulder, its mouth covered by the collar of a fur coat

On the right, The Spirit of System, showing a light-blue hardback with a monochrome dark-red drawing of a large wading bird, possibly a heron.
