Why do cats purr? How much can you learn about a cat’s mood from
the direction it flicks its tail? How do cats show trust with their
eyes? Why do cats rub against their owners’ legs? Arranged in
chapters covering physical characteristics, senses, lifecycle and
behaviour, Cats features a huge range of breeds from all around the
world. From Siamese to Russian Blue, Manx to American Bobtail,
Burmese to Bombay, the book expertly explores and celebrates this
most beloved pet. With fascinating captions on every page, even cat
lovers will learn something new. Cats is a brilliant examination in
150 outstanding colour photographs.

Photographed in the red light districts of Paris, Vicky
Wetherhill's first book captures the very essence of the peep show
- its titillation, its voyeurism, its seedy and secretive nature.
This is a world of shadows - of life on the margins - revealed
through voluptuously curtained neon-lit doorways, with their
strategic gaps and seductive folds. Footprints, shadows and patches
of light provide further visual clues of the provocative symbolism
at work in these images as even the clientele become anonymous
markers of this voyeuristic process.
Russell "Russ" Melcher came to Europe and photographed the
superstars of the time, either during their visits to Paris and
France or accompanied them on worldwide trips. He witnessed many
world events from film festivals to terrorist attacks. Among the
portrayed were royal families like the Windsors, Grace Kelly &
the Monegasques, as well as film legends like Romy Schneider, Alain
Delon, Burt Lancaster, Erol Flynn, Alfred Hitchcock, Sofia Loren,
Brigitte Bardot, and music legends like Frank Sinatra, Elvis
Presley, Harry Belafonte, and Yves Montand. In addition, there were
political greats such as Charles DeGaulle, Fidel Castro, Nikita
Khrushchev, the Shah of Persia, American presidents, and many more.
Later Russ Melcher became director of the legendary photo agency
MAGNUM and worked with photo legends Robert Capa, Henry
Cartier-Bresson, Ian Berry, Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, to name
a few. This large-format photo book is about the stories behind the
images and personalities. Entertaining, humorous, but also
profound, Russ describes his way to the perfect photo, his
individual perspective, up to the importance of photographic
storytelling of this 'Golden Age of Photojournalism'. Russ Melcher
is an important witness to that time, but also an American
entertainer in Paris who encouraged his protagonists to do things
that few photographers could manage, a true and trusted partner to
the stars of that era through the ages. The book is organised
according to the two decades and Russell's encounters with the
stars of the time. Text in English and German.
