Sinopse

In "Cats: Their Points and Characteristics," Gordon Stables offers a captivating exploration of feline breeds, delving into the nuanced traits and characteristics that define each type. The book employs a descriptive style, richly interwoven with vivid illustrations that enhance the reader's understanding of the various breeds. Stables meticulously categorizes these cats not merely by physical appearance but by temperament and behavior, reflecting the shift in Victorian-era attitudes toward domestic pets, where the appreciation of breeds became a burgeoning interest among the upper echelons of society. Gordon Stables, a prominent figure in the late 19th century, was an accomplished author and naturalist whose deep affection for animals clearly motivated his work. His extensive background in the sciences, coupled with a keen interest in natural history, provided him with a profound appreciation for the complexities and diversities of feline species. Stables's observations and insights are not just informative but are infused with a passion for the interspecies connections that resonate throughout his writings. "Cats: Their Points and Characteristics" is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in animal husbandry, veterinary science, or simply the companionship of felines. This work serves as an essential guide for cat enthusiasts and professional breeders alike, offering invaluable knowledge that remains relevant in contemporary discussions about pet care and breed conservation.

    In Spain: What Everyone Needs to Know®, a timely addition to Oxford's What Everyone Needs to Know® series, veteran journalist William Chislett provides political and historical context for Spain's current economic and political predicament. Chislett recounts the country's fascinating and often turbulent history, beginning with the Muslim conquest in 711 and ending with the nation's deep economic crisis, sparked by the spectacular collapse of its real estate and construction sectors in 2010. He explains the country's transition from dictatorship to democracy and covers such issues as the creation of a welfare state, the influx of immigrants, internal strife from the separatist Catalan region, the effects of stringent austerity measures, the strengths and weaknesses of the economy, and how the country can create a more sustainable economic model for the future. In a concise, question-and-answer format that allows listeners to quickly access areas of particular interest, the book addresses a wide range of questions, including: What was the legacy of the Muslim presence between 711 and 1492? How did the Spanish Empire Arise? What were the causes of the 1936-39 Civil War? Why did the Socialists win a landslide victory in the 1982 election? What was the impact of European Economic Community membership? What is the violent Basque separatist group ETA? And more.

    P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.   Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" tales - including eight short stories from the anthology "My Man, Jeeves," as well as the complete novels "The Inimitable Jeeves" and "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. ("My Man Jeeves" also features four stories surrounding Reggie Pepper, an early Bertie Wooster prototype.).  Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Madeline Bassett, Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.
