<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.
