A really fun and well-researched book on the history of cats.

The America stuff at the end was a little too Uncle Sam propaganda for me and it detracted from the overall vibe of the narrative.

Fascinating account and high-quality images that is worth reading, but probably as a library book instead of a purchase.

A lot of the places covered in this had been covered in the author's first two books, but there was new text and some photos from elsewhere in the world. A nice read, but too much repetition from the other books.
