Cats

by Caterina Gromis di Trana

Cats takes on an almost three-dimensional form to present moments "stolen" by expert photographers from the everyday lives of these beloved animals. Sinuous and agile, playful, intelligent, and pitiless, cats of all stripes come alive in these splendid color photographs. Here we see cats as we think we know them, but there are plenty of surprises as well. Accompanied by the writings of leading zoologists and journalists, these images remind us that our cuddly companions have not lost all the instincts of their cousins in the wild, namely lions, tigers, and leopards. This book is a pleasure to leaf through and a reward to study. Its creative photographic portrayal of cats will fascinate readers of all ages, while young readers will especially enjoy the feel of the book's "cube format," chock-full of images that they will treasure for years to come.

Este librito fue un regalo de cumpleaños y funciona muy bien como detalle para los amantes de los gatos.
Las imágenes son bellísimas, bien valdría la pena una edición en formato grande para apreciarlas.
La información que viene al inicio de cada capítulo es interesante, aunque por el mismo formato del libro más bien superflua.
En resumen: es un libro bonito para los amantes de los gatos.

Far too many cats to write about but never enough cats to look at and charm you in this massive photo book dedicated to our feline bosses.
Truly spectacular collection of hundreds and hundreds of color photos, mostly full-page.
Suppose it's only appropriate that the text is written by CATerina Gromis di Trana. The editor of this 735-page colossus: Valeria Manferto de Fabianis.

Cute book. Lots of cats. Small book. Neck hurty.

A book full of captivating photos of cats of different breeds and ages. I would have given five stars, but there are a number of errors on the captions for some photos. One that comes to mind is of a long haired cat with a basset hound, the caption refers to the dog as a dachshund! Overall Cats is a nice book that I would recommend to feline lovers or artists looking for reference material.

A hefty, cube shaped book full of wonder full colour photos of various cats, kittens, and wild cats. The introductions to each section were interesting, as were even the brief commentaries to the photos themselves. The text was written by a biologist and nicely straddles the line between zoological science and cat appreciation.

Ένα βιβλίο με υπέροχες εικόνες με γάτες! Τίποτα περισσότερο, τίποτα λιγότερο. Ξεκαρδιστικές, εντυπωσιακές, ιδιαίτερες όπως και οι πρωταγωνιστές τους. Οι γάτες σε όλο τους το μεγαλείο.
