THE second edition of Dr. W. J. Holland's “Butterfly Book” brings the subject matter up to date. The text has to a large extent been rewritten and a number of plates have been added, all the species of butterflies occurring in America north of Mexico being depicted, with the exception of a few obscure or doubtful ones. The introduction deals with collecting, breeding, preserving, and classifying specimens, and with manuals, catalogues, and check-lists of North American butterflies. The generic descriptions are illustrated by text-figures of wing-neuration, and occasionally by some additional detail of structure. The descriptions of species are kept as short as possible, the life-history, if known, being added, and the distribution of each species and variety noted. The interpolated chapters of an anecdotal or educative nature are very pleasing interruptions of the necessarily dry and monotonous descriptive text. A complete alphabetical index greatly facilitates the use of the book. The Butterfly Book: a Popular and Scientific Manual, describing and depicting all the Butterflies of the United States and Canada. By Dr. W. J. Holland. (The Nature Library.) Pp. xii + 424 + 77 plates. (Garden City, N.Y.: Double-day, Doran and Co., Inc., 1931.) 10 dollars.

The Red Data Book of European Butterflies, published in 1999, showed that butterflies have declined seriously across Europe and that 71 of the 576 species are threatened (12% of the total) either because of their extreme rarity or rapid decline. Many more species were shown to be declining in substantial parts of their range. A follow up project was conducted in 2002–3 to identify Prime Butterfly Areas (PBAs) in Europe where conservation should be targeted as a priority. Due to constraints of time and resources, this concentrated on identifying the most important (prime) areas for 34 target species, using a network of national compilers. The book gives details of 431 areas covering 1.8% of the land surface of Europe, and shows that target butterflies are declining in one quarter of PBAs, indicating that breeding habitats are continuing to deteriorate even though many are protected by national designation. Chief threats are from agricultural intensification, afforestation, abandonment of traditional practices, and isolation. We make nine recommendations: (1) Produce detailed descriptions of the PBAs within each country and protect all PBAs under national law; (2) Protect PBAs under relevant international EU law (e.g. EU Habitats and Species Directive); (3) Provide adequate protection of PBAs in non EU countries; (4) Ensure sound habitat management within PBAs and sympathetic management in surrounding areas; (5) Take measures to conserve the wider environment and whole landscapes within and surrounding PBAs in order to sustain viable metapopulations; (6) Monitor populations of target species and conduct research to identify appropriate habitat management techniques. (7) Revise pan-European legislation to take account of the new information provided in the Red Data Book of European butterflies (e.g. Bern Convention and the EU Habitats and Species Directive); (8) Conduct a more comprehensive review of Important Butterfly Areas in Europe as soon as possible; (9) Keep the list of Prime Butterfly Areas up-to-date (e.g. via the internet).

This chapter compares the characteristics and properties of poetry published in gift annuals and poetry published in single-author volumes, demonstrating how gift annuals shaped the poetry of the 1820s and influenced the Victorian poetics of the 1830s. The gift annuals were collaborative, multi-generic, expensive, decorative and hugely successful, particularly with women readers. Poems were subordinated to the exigencies of the publishers: they were often commissioned after the engraved illustrations and therefore were perceived to be written on demand rather than emerging from original inspiration. They operated in large part through women’s literary networks and the editors and writers were often female. By contrast, the single-authored volume sought to radiate the aura of the isolated male genius of Romanticism. Mass print culture brought about an intense conflict between marketplace values and the poetic principles associated with Romantic writing – genius, originality, inspiration, autonomy from the market and an intimate relation with a few refined readers. The chapter considers these vexed sets of relations by analysing poems by Letitia Elizabeth Landon and Alfred Tennyson, exploring differences and similarities between gift-annual poetry and single-authored book poetry in order to trace the increasing tension between the materiality of books and the literature they contained.

Engineer Kerrine Bryan didn't know what an engineer was until she was 17. At the time, all she knew was that she enjoyed math and science and she'd likely follow her mother into the accounting field. Then a math teacher suggested she try an taster course at the University of Glamorgan. She went on to major in electronic and electrical engineering at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
