Future zoologist- to work with big cats

This book is wonderful! It is incredibly informative, but contrary to what one might assume about a reference book, it is not at all boring or monotonous. The information is presented along with great pictures and other interesting facts. I would suggest buying the hardcover edition, because this is a book that you will surely want to keep for a long time. I will be going to college this fall, and I am sure I will get a lot of use out of this.

An excellant guide to wild cats of the world

It was by David Alderton, he has written many other books, for example, Turtles and Tortoises of the world and Crocodiles and Alliggators of the world. This book lists and explanins every wild cat in the world. It explains every living wild cat in the world. I think it is an useful book on this subject. This book includes the history and evolution of the wild cats.You have to read and see what I mean.

Very readable and very detailed, a biologist's dream

Anything you might want to know about wild cats large or small is probably in this book. It does get a little technical occasionally, but you can't discuss things like how cats' eyes work without using a few tecnical terms. Both the writing and the photograpy are of the highest quality, and you will find interesting information and many quality shots of cats you didn't even know existed.
