` Big Daddy` Pollitt, the richest cotton planter in the Mississippi Delta, is about to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday. His two sons have returned home for the occasion: Gooper, his wife & children, Brick, an ageing football hero who has turned to drink, & his feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of happy family life & Southern gentility gradually slips away as unpleasant truths emerge & greed, lies, jealousy & suppressed sexuality threaten to reach boiling point. Made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor & Paul Newman, ” Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” is a masterly portrayal of family tensions & individuals trapped in prisons of their own making. ...

From John Bradshaw, one of the world's leading experts on animal behaviour, & the author of the Sunday Times Bestseller, In Defence of Dogs, Cat Sense is a scientific portrait of the true, surprising nature of cats. Worshipped as gods, feared as demonic servants, seen as both wild opportunists & beloved companions, cats often seem as unfathomable, enigmatic & magical to us today as they did in ancient times. They have lived with humans for at least ten thousand years (far earlier than the reign of the Pharaohs), & today are the most popular pet in the world. That they now outnumber the dog, man's 'best friend', by three to one, is small wonder: at once affectionate & self-reliant, they seem to be perfectly suited to our busy 21st Century lifestyles. Yet cats still think like the wild scavengers & hunters from which they are descended
- & to which they can quickly revert. Today, they face unprecedented challenges in their life with humans: from conservationists who cast them as a threat to wildlife; from other cats who they compete for territory with; & from good-intentioned owners & vets with misconceptions of what they require. Cats need not so much our sympathy, but our understanding, if they are to continue to enjoy our companionship. The recent surge in feline science
- with John Bradshaw at the forefront
- means we are now better equipped to understand them than ever before. Cat Sense offers us for the first time a true picture of one of humanity's closest & most enigmatic companions. Praise for In Defence of Dogs: The most fantastic book, a revelation. (Observer). Essential reading. (Daily Telegraph). Nothing less than a manifesto for a new understanding. (Guardian). A case grounded in kindness & science... Authoritative, wise & rather moving. (Independent). A wonderful, reassuring, & encouraging book. (Literary Review). A wonderfully informative, passionate book. (Economist). John Bradshaw is a biologist who founded & directs the world-renowned Anthrozoology Institute, based at the University of Bristol. He has been studying the behaviour of domestic cats & their owners for over 25 years, & is the author of many scientific articles, research papers & reviews. He is also the author of the Sunday Times bestseller, In Defence of Dogs.

Catalonia has come to global attention this year in its quest for independence, but there is much more to this beautiful region situated on the west coast of the Mediterranean & blessed with one of the richest food cultures in Europe. Although Catalonia is still geographically & politically connected to Spain, Catalans consider themselves independent with their own language, history, culture & cuisine. Its food is considered unique in Spain, & it is home to one of the highest concentrations of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world
- including being the original location for the famed El Bulli. Unlike in other parts of Spain, Catalan cuisine does not centre around tapas, & although pintxos do feature heavily, they are not the mainstay of the region & most dishes are larger, st&-alone meals. Dishes are heavily influenced by pork & fresh seafood with a focus on fresh, seasonal produce that varies from recipes as simple as crushed tomatoes smeared on bread to hearty, slow-cooked stews. Famous dishes include calcots
- large salad onions cooked on a coal barbecue & then dipped into nutty & addictive Romesco sauce, a unique paella made without saffron & the addition of vermicelli noodles, myriad types of Catalan sausage served with white beans, sauces such as aioli & picada, & multiple pastries & desserts including the creme Catalan (a version of creme brulee). Beautifully packaged with stunning location & food photography, The Catalan Kitchen is the ultimate cookbook for lovers of Spanish & Mediterranean food.

Catalan is a romance language named after the autonomous province Catalonia in Spain & spoken by well over 9 million people worldwide. It is also the national & only official language of Andorra. Most Catalan speakers, however, reside in Spain`s Catalonia & Valencia provinces. Catalan is not a dialect of Spanish, but a language that developed independently from Vulgar Latin during the Middle Ages around the Pyrenees region. During the 19th century & the rise of a nationalist cultural movement in Catalonia, the language was revived as a literary language. Since the 1980s, Catalan has been the language used in state schools, & thus most residents of Catalonia are bilingual in Catalan & Spanish. Ideal for businesspeople, travelers, & students, this dictionary features over 16, 000 word-to-word entries, including common words as well as technical, legal, business & locally-specific terms (key cities, foods, & cultural terms).
