This week's #NewBooks at the library: Once a year my employer has its backlist bargains sale, allowing me to scoop up some amazing books at a great discount. This year's haul was contained to How #Birds Evolved and Nature's Temples: A Natural History of Old-Growth #Forests from @princetonupress, and Big Meg: The Story of the Largest, Fiercest and Most Mysterious #Shark from Penguin Books #Books #Scicomm #Bookstodon #Evolution #Ornithology #Ecology #Trees #Megalodon #Paleontology #Palaeontology

A top-down photo of three books lying down on a small, brown, wooden table. On the left, How Birds Evolved, showing a collage of five colourful birds fringing the book's cream-white cover. In the middle, Nature's Temples: Nature's Temples, showing yellow drawings of a bird, a mushroom, a a beetle, and some leaves fringing the black cover. On the right, Big Meg, showing a blue-tinted image of a shark's head on a black background with its mouth wide open, the title written in its gape. The out-of-focus background shows the beech-coloured laminate floor.
