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

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.
In Wild Winter, John D. Burns, bestselling author of The Last
Hillwalker and Bothy Tales, sets out to rediscover Scotland's
mountains, remote places and wildlife in the darkest and stormiest
months. He traverses the country from the mouth of the River Ness
to the Isle of Mull, from remote Sutherland to the Cairngorms, in
search of rutting red deer, pupping seals, minke whales, beavers,
pine martens, mountain hares and otters. In the midst of the fierce
weather, John's travels reveal a habitat in crisis, and many of
these wild creatures prove elusive as they cling on to life in the
challenging Highland landscape. As John heads deeper into the
winter, he notices the land fighting back with signs of
regeneration. He finds lost bothies, old friendships and innovative
rewilding projects, and - as Covid locks down the nation - reflects
on what the outdoors means to hillwalkers, naturalists and the folk
who make their home in the Highlands. Wild Winter is a reminder of
the wonder of nature and the importance of caring for our
environment. In his winter journey through the mountains and
bothies of the Highlands, John finds adventure, humour and a deep
sense of connection with this wild land.

If you are new to the world of alpacas, or are seriously
considering becoming a breeder, this is the perfect book-kept
