| Synopsis: |
"101 Cataclysms: For the Love of Cats" is a photographic celebration of the world's most popular pet - the creatures that have beguiled, fascinated and blessed us with their company since the civilised world began. Featuring the exquisite images of premier animal portrait photographer Rachael Hale, this unique collection superbly captures the beauty, elegance and charm of 101 of her favourite felines. You will see it in the bald-face cheekiness of Hilander, the hairless Sphynx, or in the astonishment of Puffy, the Persian ball of fluff; the coyness of Russian Blue contortionists Alexei and Cossak; the sensuality of the stone-deaf Tallulah, or the nonchalance of cool cat Pat. Despite their feline fickleness, the adorable photographs capture the unique personality of each and every mischievious model, and are complemented by quirky cat quotations and poems, from Dr Seuss to Tom Jones. Inspiration came from the photographer's own triumvirate of cats, the crazy, loveable Himalayan Persian Edmund, and 'designer moggies' Gianni and Versace, all of whom feature in this exceptional collection.This book is a stunning tribute to our feline friends, certain to touch the heart of every cat lover, and more. |

Solar
Michael Beard is a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. A compulsive womaniser, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. But this time it is different.

Molotov's Magic Lantern
When Rachel Polonsky went to live in Moscow, she found an apartment block in Romanov Street. One apartment had been Vyacheslav Molotov's, Stalin's henchman. Molotov was ruthless - and an ardent bibliophile. Rachel visited cities and landscapes associated with the books in his library. In each place, she encountered the spirit of great artists such as Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Akhmatova - and the terrible past of a country ravaged by war, famine, and totalitarianism.

Love Bites
Prompted partly by gastronomic curiosity and partly by sheer greed, Mr H entered the kitchen with Mrs H as his guide. The result is perhaps the most honest food book ever written. It is certainly one of the funniest.
