Brauchen wir Mouml;bel ldquo;mit Stil"? Und muuml;ssen wir unsere Wohnung nach den neuesten Trends einrichten? Adolf Loos wusste eine Antwort darauf: Schluss mit dem Mode-Terror. Damals wie heute gilt: Wer frei wohnen will; der vertraue auf sein eigenes Urteil und auf klassische; praktische Mouml;bel. Denn diese haben sich bewauml;hrt; wauml;hrend die neuesten Entwuuml;rfe oft nur schicke; aber schlechte Kopien sind. Loos fordert Stilmix statt Garniturdenken; Geschmacksfreiheit statt Einheitsbrei - so amuuml;sant wie zeitgemauml;szlig;!

From the cover youd guess it just has a slew of cute pictures of freshly born wildcats. Well yes... but thats not all. Each set of pictures is accompanied by the basics -- birth date; name; zoo -- but also far more. The endangered status of each of the species is listed with a compact yet highly literate and helpful description of the characteristics and range of the cat. By the time youre done; you or your child will know far more than youd expect from just looking at kitty pictures.I gave this book to a somewhat precocious six-year-old who proudly read the names of each animal showing me many pictures. Because the locations of the zoos are listed; we had a chance to look at maps from around the world to see where each baby lives. It was a joyous; fun but also educational experience for us both.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. AWWWW!!!!!!By tarnoldI LOVE this book! It is a small sized book filled with the cutest cubs!!! I love big cats and in fact plan to return to school to major in Animal Science in order to work with carnivores--big cats to be precise! But back to this book. Every page is filled with the most beautiful photos of cubs; gives information of each cub; as well as facts about each breed and the sobering fact that many of these are quickly going extinct in the wild; due to poaching; or habitat loss. How sad it would be to live in a world where these beautiful and regal cats no longer exist! How sad too; that cubs like these may never know what living free in the wild is like!On the other hand; many are being bred in zoos and because of this we are able to see up close these precious and sweet faced cubs. They are all adorable! If you love big cats and cubs; I would definitely recommend this book! I thank the authors and photographers for publishing this. It makes a great addition to my small but growing library of nature books!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book for all ages!By SharonI ordered this book for my 7 y/o son who is a huge Zooborns fan and wants to be a zoologist someday. I thought it might be too juvenile for him; however; the facts on the cats keep his attention while the pictures are just stunning. Even very young children would enjoy looking through the pictures or learning the names of the various cat species. One word of note; the book is much smaller than I anticipated. I didnt read the specs on it so I was surprised when it arrived much smaller than your standard picture book (think board book size but with paper pages). It doesnt detract from the book - it was just surprising to me. Highly recommend this book to any Zooborns; animal; or big cat fan!
