This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes: Further Reflections In Natural History from W.W. Norton & Co., another second-hand addition to my growing collection of #StephenJayGould's essays.
- A deeply discounted copy of The Trouble with #AncientDNA: Telling Stories of the Past with Genomic Science by Anna Källén from the University of Chicago Press.
- And because I'm a fan of moody street photography, a deeply discounted copy of Unfamiliar Underground: Finding the Calm in the Chaos of London's Tube Stations by Victoria Louise Howard from The History Press.

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, standing up, Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes, showing a cream-coloured hardback with a black-and-white period cartoon showing Charles Darwin sitting down on a grassy lawn with a giant earthworm rearing up in front of him.

In the middle, lying down, The Trouble with Ancient DNA, showing a black hardback with a plain black cover and the title and author name on the spine in white lettering.

On the right, standing up, Unfamiliar Underground, showing a black hardback with a moody black-and-white photograph of a London tube station, completely devoid of people.
