Books
From the ancient Egyptian cat goddess, Bastet, to the prophet Muhammad's favourite cat, Muezza, and our contemporary obsession with online cat videos, felines have long held a place of honour in their human counterparts' homes and cultures. But the domestic cat is just one of many feline species, and in 'The Wild Cat Book' cat experts Fiona and Mel Sunquist introduce us to the full panoply of the purring, roaring feline tribe. Illustrated throughout with Terry Whittaker's photographs as well as unique photos from biologists in the field - some the highest quality images ever captured of exceptionally rare species - 'The Wild Cat Book' not only tantalizes with the beauty of cats, but also serves as a valuable and accessible reference on cat behaviour and conservation.
