Paperback. Etat : Very Good. How do you distinguish a British Shorthair from a Chartreux? And a Maine Coon from a Norwegian Forest? Unlike dog breeds, where size is a very important distinguishing feature, in domestic cats, with the exception of a few cases, size is not an instantly perceptible determining factor. The vast range of recognised colours and the difference in coat length, only complicate matters further. As you leaf through this book, you will learn to recognise the traits, the nuances that differentiate breeds, enabling you to recognise them at first glance. And to help you to do this, this book features striking original pictures by Fabio Petroni, a professional photographer specialised in still life photography and a great animal lover. Thanks to his professional skills as a photographer and his emotional proximity to the subjects portrayed, the true essence of cats emerges with effectiveness, accuracy and the right degree of sensitivity. Detailed fact sheets examine more than 40 of the most well-known breeds, giving an in-depth description of the breed standards recognised by the most important international cat associations, and they are complemented by splendid illustrations of the finest specimens on the international cat scene. AUTHOR: Fabio Petroni has worked with some of the most famous names in international photography since 1984, as well as some of the top advertising agencies. He has been involved in campaigns for well-known national and international brands. The books Horses: Master Portraits (2010) and Mutt's Life (2011), published by Edizioni White Star, feature his pictures. He lives and works in Milan.

Morocco has always lured us with its exotic culture and untameable landscape. The very names of its cities-Casablanca, Marrakesh, Tangier - evoke romantic image of white-washed temples, an almost medieval atmosphere, and the scent of exotic spices wafting through the air.Antonio Attini, one of today's most daring aerial photographers takes readers on a magic carpet ride over the magnificent country of Morocco, revealing thrilling and unexpected sights that we could never experience without the benefit of these exceptional aerial views. From the endless dune fields of the Sahara to the rich coastal plains to the Atlas Mountain range that forms the backbone of the country, the photographs in this book depict the wild landscape of Morocco. We are transported over the dramatic Ouzoud Falls in the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghemeilt ("Ouzoud" meaning "olive" and named for all the olive orchards in the area) and along miles of beaches along the coastline; over the Rif Mountains and into dramatic mountain gorges.Morocco's manmade splendours are conveyed as well through photographs that depict the quintessential Moroccan architecture of the Cathedral of Sacre C'Ur and the Ait Benhaddou - one of the best preserved Kasbahs (citadels) in the Atlas region. These panoramic photographs depict entire regions at a single glance, conveying the colours, textures, landscapes, and architecture of a perennially fascinating country.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. There may have been musical rebels like Elvis Presley before him, but once Mick Jagger first burst on the scene in 1962 as lead singer for England's convention- defying Rolling Stones, the mould was broken once and for all. Even fifty years later, his singing and performing style, heard on records and seen in concert halls and arenas and in movie theatres the world over, is still the benchmark against which all rock'n'roll front men are measured. And with good reason: Jagger's distinctive, malleable voice and preening, prancing antics onstage have yet to be duplicated, let alone equalled or surpassed. Together with his childhood and lifelong "Glimmer Twin" pal, guitarist Keith Richards, chief Stones lyricist Jagger has co-written countless indelible rock and roll classics, including Satisfaction, Paint It Black, Sympathy for the Devil, Miss You, and Start Me Up. Meanwhile, his reputation as a globe-hopping Don Juan-esque lover have made him a simultaneously cursed, envied and admired international sex symbol. Remarkably, now seventy years old, Jagger is still going strong on all fronts - and with all his unique cheekiness and take-no-prisoners attitude gloriously intact. The ultimate "Midnight Rambler" rock'n'roll rebel. AUTHOR: Billy Altman is a Grammy-nominated music critic and historian whose work has appeared in such places as The New York Times, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Esquire and Spin.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Covering 263 square miles, Singapore is an unrivalled success story. The Island nation contains the headquarters of 200 banks, its port competes with that of Rotterdam for the title of the busiest in the world, a good part of the planet's crude oil is refined there, and it boasts countless chemical, electronic, and pharmaceutical industries. Founded in the 7th century A.D., it later disappeared from maps after having been an active trading centre, but was reborn in 1819 thanks to Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, an official of Britain's East Indies Company. When he landed, Singapore already had a name promising a roaring future: Singapura, the City of the Lion. Its modern, enterprising mentality and tireless desire for expansion has transformed this small city-state on the Equator into one of the Orient's most important metropolises. Yet, tradition and the local culture have not disappeared. Next to the temples of the Little India neighbourhood stand skyscrapers and super-modern shopping malls; the red lanterns of Chinatown line multi-lane roads where the most luxurious automobiles speed by; and everywhere exotic fragrances seduce and charm visitors. In full colour throughout, this is a new title in the popular "Countries of the World" series. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Etat : Fine. A downy Canada gosling peeking out from under its parent's wing. A spindly-legged baby wildebeest in East Africa taking its first steps. A trio of golden retriever puppies gnawing on a stick. Taken in locations around the world, the images in this appealing volume bring to life the playful natures, endearing vulnerabilities, and irresistible brand-newness of a wide range of baby animals, both wild and domestic. At once heartwarming and enlightening, Baby Animals features pictures that capture intimate and entertaining moments in the daily life of the young of various species, accompanied by captions that provide fascinating tidbits on animal behavior, habitat and much more. Readers witness first flights and forays away from the safety of the nest or burrow, and quick retreats back to the protection of animal parents. Photographs of a mother orangutan cradling her child, a red fox barking at her cub, and a young lion cub practicing its offensive tactics on its patient mother demonstrate the close connection between animal babies and their parents. Similarly, pictures of a still fuzzy wolf cub throwing back its head to howl and a kitten pouncing on a real or imagined mouse depict young animals' assertion of independence. The chunky, three-dimensional quality of this book is perfectly suited to the lively nature of the subject matter of this volume, as baby animals practically spring off its pages.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Two centuries ago, Richard Trevithick made the first models of those puffing machines destined to become the steam locomotives so familiar to us now for the Cornwall coal companies In England. No-one could have imagined at the time that in a few decades they would have lead to a whole network of railways covering Europe first and then the rest of the world.The birth of the railway and the industrial revolution are strictly linked and we can say with certainty that one would not have been possible without the contribution of the other. Whether directly or indirectly, the railway caused profound social and cultural changes to which we are still indebted today.It is nearly impossible to recount in a single volume this fascinating and violent story of men, inventions, challenges lost and won, and technological progress. We have therefore tried to recall the fundamental milestones of this ongoing career, recounting the main events in the history of the railway and the story of the men who built it. A lot of space is dedicated to the "puffing machine". This could not have been any different, both for the technical importance which it had and for the romantic charm which surrounds it.The birth of the western United States is also tied to the development of the railway, whilst in the east the myth of the Trans-Siberian has fascinated generations of travellers, in Europe the charm of convoys such as the Orient Express have inspired many writers and film directors. In the 20th century, whilst the world of steam locomotives followed an inevitable decline, the railway entrusted its future to electricity and diesel engines. To power available grew, trains became ever faster and the hunt began for an absolute speed record for railways, a challenge which still stands. After the dark years of the world conflict, for some decades and not only in Europe, it appeared that the era of the railway was inevitably destined to end. Transport on rubber, of people and goods, is undoubtedly more flexible, but clashes with a road traffic which has become unbearable now. From this growing criticism the rebirth of the railway begins, very different from the one of a few decades ago, but with a promising future ahead.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Travel in India is a unique experience. The look of the countryside, the dress of the people, the crowded city streets with their signs in unknown scripts and their constantly changing smells, a cuisine of many delights where even the western food tastes subtly different, the temples with their brooding magnificence, the sculptured figures of seductive handmaidens and majestic divinities, the cool elegance of inlaid marble.all these provide a stimulus to the senses which changes with each place that is visited. But this forms only the visible part of the visit: behind it lies the continuing civilization of which it is a manifestation, a civilization made up of different elements and traditions, of many aspects of western thought and life style. Then, too, the enquiring visitor will have a sense of India as a vibrant democracy and growing industrial power, a vast country striving for economic progress, a society of many interests and views. Many are captured by India, and return to it again and again: nobody can be totally unaffected. This book, through its pictures, provides a visual dimension of the country - an invitation for readers who have not yet visited India, and a trigger for the memories of those who have.
