Great cats

Más información sobre el libro

"In 1993, adventurer, artist and author Simon Combes embarked on the greatest adventure of his lifetime: a search for nine great cats of the world. His goal was to research, locate and ultimately paint each cat in the glory of its natural habitat. In a sometimes hair-raising, sometimes hysterical account of his voyages over three years and on three continents, Combes captures, in stories, paintings and photos, the drama of these nine mysterious and largely elusive species of the cat family." "Combes' reverence, however, is largely restricted to the animals and native peoples. His human companions and occasional fellow travellers fare less well under his observant and comical eye. Filled with travel lore and local customs, Great Cats is a rip-roaring illustrated adventure."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
