Summary: Good relation between anatomy and behaviour
Review: The book contains a very structured description of the anatomy of extinct and present cats, and also explains how that relates to the cat's way of living, way of hunting etc.It is the relation between anatomy and behaviour that make this book so interesting. Especially since the text is easy to read for laymen too.

Summary: a must read
Review: This is an outstanding book, hands down the best book of its kind I've seen. The text is very well organized and readable, both for the layperson and those with science backgrounds. It goes into enough detail to be comprehensive, yet in such a way as to make the material easily understandable and enjoyably read. The illustrations are what really makes this book stand out above the crowd: they are always well drawn and detailed and pretty to look at, both functional and artistic. It really brings the subject matter to life, sort of like if you were able to examine the museum collection yourself, and then go on a prehistoric safari. If you have any more than a passing interest in cat biology, natural history, or paleontology, this book is a definite must have.
