<b>From the preeminent animal portrait photographer and the bestselling author of <i>Dogs</i>, <i>Endangered</i>, and <i>Birds</i>, a stunning collection over 170 photographs of cats, with text on the species, their evolution, and why we love them<br/></b><br/> For thousands of years, felines have captivated humanity with their beauty, intelligence, unpredictability, and fierce independence. In his latest work, world-renowned photographer Tim Flach explores this deep, sometimes one-sided but always enduring bond, revealing the many identities of cats-from their sacred status in ancient cultures to their viral superstardom in the digital age.<br/><br/> Featuring more than 170 photographs, <i>Feline</i> celebrates domestic cats while also highlighting their wild counterparts and the urgent conservation efforts to protect them and their habitats. <i>Feline</i> showcases the world's most extraordinary cats, show champions, and internet icons with millions of followers. From pedigrees like the classic British Shorthair and curly coated Rex breeds to the werewolf-like Lykoi and the humble moggie representing the majority, Flach's images capture the personality, character, and spirit of felines in a way never seen before.<br/><br/> Evolutionary biologist Jonathan Losos provides fascinating context, weaving together science, history, and human connections to explore what makes cats so compelling. He examines their evolutionary journey, adaptation to diverse environments, and the growing influence of human intervention on breeding. Meanwhile, neuroscientist Morten Kringelbach delves into the science of cuteness, unthreading why felines hold such power over us.<br/><br/> QR codes offer exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, providing insights into Flach's creative process and the authenticity of these unbelievable felines. From the untamed wild to the warmth of our homes, <i>Feline</i> is a mesmerizing tribute to the grace, mystery, and enduring presence of cats in our lives.

Sixth and final in a series of collectible boxed sets celebrating the literary achievement of Christopher Tolkien. Set #6 presents hardback editions of the three 'Great Tales' of Middle-earth, printed in full colour and with new art in each, and housed in a matching slipcase decorated with stunning new artwork by the books' artist, Alan Lee. <br/><br/>THE CHILDREN OF HURIN <br/><br/>Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwells in the vast fortress of Angband in the North; and within the shadow of the fear of Angband, and the war waged by Morgoth against the Elves, the fates of Turin and his sister will be tragically entwined. Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Hurin, the man who dared defy him to his face. Against them Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire, in an attempt to fulfil his curse and destroy the children of Hurin. <br/><br/>BEREN AND LUTHIEN <br/><br/>Deeply opposed to the marriage of Beren, a mortal man, to his daughter Luthien, the great Elvish lord, Thingol, imposes an impossible task that Beren must perform before they might wed. Undaunted by Lord Thingol's challenge, Beren and Luthien embark on the supremely heroic attempt to rob Morgoth, the greatest of all evil beings, of a Silmaril, one of the hallowed jewels that adorn the Black Enemy's crown. <br/><br/>THE FALL OF GONDOLIN <br/><br/>Central to the enmity of two of the greatest Powers in the world - Morgoth and Ulmo - is the Elvish city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor largely refuse to support Ulmo. Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Turin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out on the fearful journey to Gondolin, where he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter, and their son is Earendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo. Then Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs.
