Kraftvoll und ästhetisch – seit jeher wird der Tiger, die größte wildlebende Katzenart, zugleich bewundert und gefürchtet. Doch was verbirgt sich hinter dieser einzigartigen Kreatur? Mit faszinierenden, farbigen Fotografien gewährt dieses Buch Einblicke in das Leben der Tiger. Vom Sozialverhalten der Tiere über deren Jagdtechniken bis hin zur Aufzucht ihrer Jungen hält es spannende und wissenswerte Informationen bereit. Eine Liebeserklärung an die Großkatze und ein Plädoyer für den Erhalt ihrer Lebensräume!

From the Azteca to the Appaloosa, Choctaw to the Palomina, and from rare breeds such as the Polish Konik to the semi-feral Pyrenean Pottok, Horses celebrates a wide variety of breeds from all around the world. Each photograph is accompanied by a caption with fascinating information about the characteristics of each breed.

With full captions explaining how these incredible animals hunt and feed, rear their young and survive in the wild, Tigers is an outstanding collection of 150 photographs showing these fearsome yet magnificent animals in action

In The Sign of Four, the great detective, Sherlock Holmes, famously says: "... when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth ...". Eliminate the Impossible collects six canonical tales in which Holmes and Watson encounter mummies, angels, phantoms, invisible assassins, and arcane machines ... or so it might appear to those without a carefully stocked brain attic. From Medieval London, to the snow-capped mountains Turkey, from dusty Admiralty vaults, to the glitz and glamour of the Orient Express, from the days of fledgling friendship, to the backdrop of World War I, this new collection invites you to celebrate deduction, forensic science, and logic ... and Eliminate the Impossible.
