Desmond Morris Libri

Desmond Morris, zoologo famoso per avere studiato a lungo le scimmie, in questo libro divertente, sconvolgente e al tempo stesso rigorosamente scientifico si è messo a studiare l'uomo. Ma lo ha studiato in quanto scimmia e cioè come l'unico, tra le centonovantatré specie di scimmie, a essere sprovvisto di peli. Nudo, appunto. Per quanto cerchi di ignorare l'eredità del passato, l'uomo rimane essenzialmente un primate, una scimmia in crisi, che segue nella vita sessuale e sociale i modelli di comportamento fissati dai suoi antenati scimmioni cacciatori.

The wide-ranging coverage in this encylopaedia of cats encompasses entries on many kinds of domestic cat (from Abyssinian to Siamese), famous individual cats (from Felix to Macavity), and aspects of feline behaviour (from hunting to courtship). It also incorporates terminology, cat books and organizations, famous owners, authors and artists, and even people such as Julius Caesar and Napoleon, who hated cats.
