A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. On the left, standing up, Fantasy Miniatures, showing a nicely pained wargames miniature on a black background (I think it's a Chaos Space Marine with dark-red armour). In the middle, lying down, Forensic Entomology, showing three panels across the cover with various fly species that have landed on pinkish and yellowish substrates. The background, behind these panels and the title, shows several iridescent flies on what looks like a muddy substrate. On the right, standing up, The Correspondence of Charles Darwin, Volume 1, showing black and white lettering on a moss-green background. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Three very different books. I won a copy of #Fantasy Miniatures at auction. I adopted a damaged copy of #ForensicEntomology. And I bought a second-hand copy of Volume 1 of The Correspondence of #CharlesDarwin.

@inqbiol @bookstodon biology really changed from qualitative to more quantitative pretty recently - what these books say to me

Is the forensic entomology book good?

It might be kind of scary because it would have a lot about decomposition. But are there other areas of study?
