A propos de cet article

First impression of the true first edition. Profusely illustrated with line drawings by E. John Pfiffner throughout the text. A large-format hardback book. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. The boards are clean - just very slightly marked. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. Page block edges foxed. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. The top corners of some of the pages are very slightly creased (hardly noticeable) and there are no tears. Slight foxing to the endpapers but interior pages clean. ***In a very good illustrated dustwrapper, which is not price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £4.95 net. The dustwrapper has some very light edge creasing, and some rubbing to the extremities, but no loss, chips or tears. Sporadic foxing to the foldover flaps. No fading. Dustwrapper bright. ***247mm x 175mm. 251 pages. ***Contents: Chapter 1. The Chase, 2. The Kill, 3. Seeing, 4. The Other Senses, 5. Origins and Spread, 6. Ups and Downs, 7. Earning their Keep, 8. How Sociable?, 9. Sex and Reproduction, 10. The Young Family, 11. The Older Family, 12. The Genetics of Breed, 13. Service to Science, 14. The Little Differences, 15. The Health record, 16. Cats and the Law, 17. Man and Beast Together, Notes and Bibliography, Index. ***'Although anyone who is fond of animals will find this book absorbing, cat owners in particular will value it for its comprehensiveness and clarity. Meticulously researched, it corrects many misapprehensions and offers much new information about cats' biology and behaviour. Muriel Beadle has drawn upon an amazing variety of original sources - from seventeenth century naturalists to modern animal behaviourists, from memoirs of cat fanciers to scholarly reports by specialists in fields as diverse as ecology and genetics, veterinary science and neuro-physiology. But this is also a history of the cat's long association with human beings, with special emphasis on the origin and development of human attitudes towards this least domesticated of our domesticated animals.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper, in very good condition. A well researched book and nicely illustrated. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. …
